Comments:
- The draw used ball set 12 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.41.
One in every 43.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.32% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,625,980.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 13 wins totalling £150.
- The 53rd main number
appearance
of the number 13 has left the number
20 alone at the bottom of that frequency
table. It also moved the number 13 to within six
of the rest at the bottom of the winning number
frequency
table
after its 60th such appearance.
- Less than 300 ticket
combinations
have failed to win a prize in any of the 582 draws
to date.
- This draw had the second lowest individual 5-match
prize
of all time (and, unsurprisingly, the second highest
number of 5-match winners ever). Perhaps the 4 multiples
of nine (9,
18,
27
and 45) had something to do with this
draw's high number of winners in the various tiers ?
- Well, I only had one multiple of nine across my two
tickets, which might explain why they dismally only
managed to match one number each.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 17th January 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
