Comments:
- The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.86.
One in every 44.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.26% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,391,545.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.
- The 37th main number
appearance and 44th
winning number appearance
of the number 5 puts it only one behind the leader in both
frequency tables (the number 44).
- Less than 200,000 ticket
combinations have fail to win a prize in any
of the 225 lotteries to date.
- Three ticket combinations have now won 18 prizes in the 225 draws so far.
- I matched two numbers on my first ticket and none on my second in the
penultimate draw of my third annual subscription.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 17th August 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
