Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.31.
One in every 56.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.78% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,211,248.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 13 wins totalling £177.
- The 98th appearance of the winning number 38
has moved it an impressive seven clear of the chasing pack
in the winning number frequency
table.
- The winning number pair 38, 46 has a lead of
three in the appropriate frequency
table after its
25th such appearance.
- Ticket sales divebombed for
the 8th consecutive draw to their fourth lowest for a Saturday draw ever.
Despite the gloomy sales, a minor milestone was reached by the main Wednesday and Saturday draws -
they have now exceeded £25 billion in combined ticket sales.
- I matched two numbers on my first ticket and one number
on my second ticket, so no luck came my way
for another Saturday then.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 31st May 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
