Comments:
- The draw used ball set 8 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.14.
One in every 55.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.79% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,505,187.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £142.
- The 54th appearance of the winning number 19 has left
the rarest such number (13) four adrift at the basement of
the winning number frequency
table.
- The main number 17 has finally set an outright all-time record
for failing to appear
for the longest sequence of consecutive draws - an
incredible 66 (almost 8 months since it last turned up).
- I matched nothing on my first ticket and just one number on my second
ticket, so my winnings equalled the number of goals in the Finland-England
World Cup soccer qualifier game this evening.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 9th April 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
