Comments:
- The draw used ball set 7 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.83.
One in every 39.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.52% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,920,806.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
- The pair 09, 27 now has the outright
lead in the winning number pair frequency
table after its 18th such
appearance.
- The 4-match
prize was the joint lowest
ever for a Wednesday draw (and the joint second lowest
of all time).
- The jackpot prize pool was the second lowest ever
for an draw where the jackpot was won.
- The 5+bonus prize pool was the second lowest ever
for an draw where the 5+bonus prize was won.
- The 5-match and 4-match prize pools were
the second lowest ever.
- I matched nothing on my first ticket and two
numbers on my second as the countdown to the end of
the millennium continues at the same as the count-up
from the last time I won...
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 17th April 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
