Comments:
- The draw used ball set 8 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £41.84.
One in every 62.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.61% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £2,012,519.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
- Ticket sales were more than 20m
less than the previous double rollover,
although sub-zero weather conditions (particularly on the Saturday with major
snowfalls) throughout the week probably accounted for most of this.
- The depressed ticket sales didn't stop them, the jackpot prize pool or
the total prize pool
from being the second highest ever in the history of the lottery. The
5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools were also the second largest ever.
- The individual jackpot prize of just over £10m was the largest won by
four or more tickets in a single draw, smashing the
previous record by over £6m.
- For the first time, there were three previous 3-match wins with
this draw's numbers: Lotteries
#41 (16, 38 and 41),
#19 (17, 41 and 42) and
#9 (17, 38 and 42).
- The numbers 17 and 42 have appeared together as a
main number pair for a record
sixth time.
- With the number 38 making its first appearance for some 5 months,
the number 1 is now the number that
hasn't appeared for the longest
period (21 draws).
- One match on each of my three tickets, which is frustrating
because that doesn't win me anything of course !
- £836,620 of unclaimed prizes (1.17% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 25th July 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
