Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £32.37.
One in every 72.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.39% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,694,018.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
- The number 38 is the highest number to appear in the second position when
the drawn numbers are sorted in ascending order.
- With 4 of the main balls being yellow, this has pushed the
number
of main yellow balls to 102, the first colour to exceed the century mark.
- The number 44 rejoins the number 5 at the top of the main number
frequency table with its 14th
appearance.
- Because there were less than a million 3-match winners and the
ticket sales held firm for a
normal week, the
jackpot prize pool was the highest
ever for a normal week. Similarly, the 4-match prize pool was the second
highest for a normal week and the both the 5-match and 5+bonus prize pools
were the third highest for a normal week.
- For the first time in the history of the lottery, one of the jackpots was
won by a Lucky Dip selection.
- The scratchcard sales continued
to fall, yet again reaching their lowest point since the
first week they were introduced.
This rippled through to the
combined sales, which were also the
worst since the first scratchcard week.
- I had one match on each of my two tickets which continued my winless
sequence of 14 draws.
- £698,044 of unclaimed prizes (2.23% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 10th October 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
