Comments:
- The draw used ball set 8 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.84.
One in every 42.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.35% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,056,932.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £97.
- The number 25 made its 70th
main number
appearance
in this draw, pulling it three clear of the
chasing pack at the top of the table.
It is also four clear at the top of the winning
number frequency
table
after its 83rd such appearance.
- The number 19 is now only one
adrift at the bottom of the winning frequency
table after its 46th appearance as one of the 7 balls.
- The first appearance of the number 29
for 29 draws has handed the longest absentee mantles to
the numbers 24 and 35 (neither
have appeared
as a main number for 28 draws) and the number
2 (has failed to
appear as
a winning number for 24 draws).
- Remarkably, it's been almost
18 months since we've seen
three consecutive Saturday draws show an increase in
ticket sales on the previous
Saturday's draw !
- I matched nothing on my first, third and fourth
tickets and only one number on my second ticket, so the
depressingly familiar no-win situation continues...
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 28th September 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
