Comments:
- The draw used ball set 2 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.86.
One in every 48.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.06% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,041,435.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £171.
- The number 45's first
appearance
for 41 draws had handed over the longest
absentee mantle to the number 15,
which hasn't turned up for 28 draws now.
- This draw had the second lowest
sum (84) ever
of the seven winning numbers and, when sorted in
ascending order, the fourth ball (8) was
the outright lowest number in that position since the
lottery began.
- The total prizes
awarded by all Wednesday and Saturday main lottery
draws to date has now exceeded £10 billion.
- I matched one number on my first ticket and
two numbers on my second, but unfortunately three
numbers need to match on the same ticket to win...
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 24th August 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
