Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.32.
One in every 43.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.32% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,514,684.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- Bob Monkhouse started a second (16-week) stint as the presenter of the
lottery TV show.
- The seemingly invincible number
44 justs keeps turning up to set these records:
- Appearing for the 21st time as a
main number (4 more than any other
number).
- Making its 24th
winning number appearance
(3 ahead of the chasing pack).
- Appearing in a staggering six
consecutive
draws as a winning
number (and in 8 of the last 10 draws too !) - the chances of this
occurring for any number are 1 in 2,401.
- Appearing in four
consecutive
draws as a main number, which has only
happened once before (with the number 10).
- Helping three ticket combinations to their 12th
win since the lottery started.
- Being part of the winning number pairs
05, 44 and 13, 44, both of which have
made their 6th appearance to join 7 other pairs at the top of the
table.
- The number
5 was the 100th main white
ball,
which means that all main ball colours have now hit the century mark.
- This was the first time that three consecutive draws had two main
numbers from the previous draw present
(05, 44 for this draw, 14, 44 for the previous draw and
33, 44 for the draw before that).
- The 5-match
prize
has been under £1,000 for three consecutive
weeks, which has never happened before. Similarly, the 4-match prize has
been less than £50 for three weeks in a row, which is also a record.
- There's now been nine successive draws without any
consecutive main number pairs, which is a
record.
- My good fortune continued as I matched 3 numbers
on my first ticket to
win my seventh £10 prize, although I
didn't have a single match on my second ticket.
- £811,914 of unclaimed prizes (2.67% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 6th March 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
