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 5 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.92.
One in every 74.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.35% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,248,420.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £90.
- The 38th appearance of the main number
39 has lifted it off from the bottom of the
main number frequency
table. Its
42nd winning number
appearance
increased the gap to the basement number (19)
to two.
- The first appearance of the winning number
24 for 37 draws hands over the longest
winning number absentee mantle to the numbers
30 and 45, neither of which has
made an
appearance for
the last 22 draws.
- The sum of the six main
numbers was the outright second highest ever, whilst the
sum of the seven
winning numbers was the joint second highest ever.
- When sorted in ascending order, the first number
(29) was the outright highest seen in that
position since the lottery began.
- The number of 4-match
winners was the third lowest
ever, whilst the numbers of 3-match and total winners
were the lowest in the history of the lottery.
- The 3-match and total prize pools were the lowest ever.
- I matched one number on my first ticket and two
numbers on my second, so only two more normal draws left
in this millennium to prove my theory that I won't win
again in this block of 1,000 years...
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 19th June 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
