Comments:
- The draw used ball set 5 in the Vyvyan machine and the average main Lotto prize was £13.86.
One in every 51.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.94% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,773,269.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £140.
- This was only the second draw ever to fail to have any 5+bonus winners
(the first one, just over 3 years ago, split the unwon
5+bonus prize pool between the two jackpot winners).
- Even more remarkably, this draw has become freakishly unique in having
no jackpot or 5+bonus winners at all. This threw Camelot into major chaos
as they took almost two hours to release the unwon jackpot amount and completely
failed to release the unwon 5+bonus amount on Wednesday evening.
- Both the unwon jackpot and 5+bonus individual prizes combined (totalling
£3,988,859) will roll over into next Saturday's jackpot prize pool.
- If you looked at
BBC teletext, ITV teletext or the official Web site on Wednesday night,
they all played it "safe" and stated that nothing at all was unwon in the
5+bonus and jackpot prize tiers. This, naturally enough, is wrong, because
the unwon prizes have to roll over to Saturday of course !
- Needless to say, the total prize pool was
the lowest of all time.
- The average prize was the second lowest ever.
- Ticket sales fell to their third lowest
amount ever, but total Wednesday sales since 5th February 1997
did at least manage to exceed £8 billion tonight.
- I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket,
so I'm quite pleased that no-one won more than £1,788 tonight :-)
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 3rd February 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
Next Lotto: #692 (Saturday 10th August 2002) [2 jackpot winners]
