Comments:

The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.07. One in every 53.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.87% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,709,367.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.

The number 39 finally appeared as a bonus number for the first time, leaving only the four numbers 18, 32, 35 and 42 as the only ones not to have been drawn as a bonus number.

The winning number 39 also made only its 9th such appearance and remains bottom of that table, although now only one behind the rest of the pack.

The winning number 29 has failed to appear for 31 consecutive draws, which is the joint second longest such absence in the history of the lottery.

The combined sales of the online lottery and the scratchcards since they began exceeded £10 billion during Saturday, a fact that seems to have been missed by the UK media and was first mentioned on these pages !

Scratchcard sales dropped to their lowest level since the first week of their introduction nearly two years ago.

No match on my first ticket and only one match on my second continues my disappointing winless run.

£686,030 of unclaimed prizes (2.21% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 10th July 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #114 (Saturday 18th January 1997) [3 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #112 (Saturday 4th January 1997) [10 jackpot winners]
