Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.66.
One in every 61.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.62% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,798,926.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 13 wins totalling £130.
- The 70th main number
appearance of the
number 38 has brought it to within
one of that frequency table's leader (the number
25). It's also now only two behind the number 25
in the winning number frequency
table after
its 83rd appearance as one of the seven drawn numbers.
- Three ticket combinations
have now won 26 prizes in the 461 lotteries to date.
- The winning number pair 38, 46 is only the second
such pair to have been
drawn 20 times to date.
- Ticket sales for Wednesday draws
have now exceeded £5 billion.
- I matched one number on each of my two tickets,
so my dry spell of luck has suffered further dehydration.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 20th November 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
