UK National Lottery #211

UK Lottery E-mail Scams Warning

Winning numbers drawn at 8.58pm GMT on Wednesday 31st December 1997:

The table below is courtesy of Camelot's phone line (0845 9100 000 *10).

The next table displays the draw order, revised frequencies and the last prior appearance of each of the 7 balls.

Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.75. One in every 44.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.27% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,460,434.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
• The 18th appearance of the main number 13 has left the number 15 two adrift at the bottom of the frequency table.
• The number 13 also appeared after being absent for 49 consecutive draws (as either a main or winning number) handing the longest absentee crowns to the main number 20 (not appeared for 30 draws) and the winning number 12 (not appeared for 25 draws).
• The pair 21, 29 has now appeared 8 times as a main number pair and 10 times as a winning number pair since the lottery began (putting it joint top of both frequency tables).
• It was only the third time that all 7 winning numbers were 30 or less (and all three times have been in 1997 !).
• I matched one number on each of my two tickets to close off 1997 on an inevitable losing note.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 29th June 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #212 (Saturday 3rd January 1998) [3 jackpot winners]
