Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £16.09.
One in every 35.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.79% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,207,966.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.
- The main number 25 has opened a gap
of two at the top of the main number frequency
table after its
71st such appearance. Its 85th winning number
appearance
has also has given it a lead of 3 in the appropriate
frequency table.
- This draw had the second lowest 5+bonus, 5-match and
4-match prizes for a Saturday
draw ever.
- Even worse, it had the lowest jackpot (when won), 5+bonus,
5-match and 4-match prize pools for any Saturday draw to date.
- I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on
my second ticket to continue my almost inevitable losing
sequence.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 16th November 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
