Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.03.
One in every 40.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.49% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,950,816.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- The second lowest
ticket sales ever meant that the record
books were re-written as follows:
- It was the first time that a won jackpot
prize pool dipped below £3m.
- The 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools were also the lowest
in the history of the lottery.
- The total prize pool was the third lowest since the lottery began.
- The 5-match prize
was the third lowest to date.
- The 4-match prize slumped even further to be the second lowest such
individual prize ever.
- Last week's
scratchcard sales were below
£14m for the first time since the first week they were
introduced.
- Combined sales
for last week were below £100m for the first time since the
midweek draw started.
- There are now less than one million ticket
combinations that have failed to win
a prize in any of the 139 draws to date - this information is a
world exclusive.
- I didn't match any numbers on my first ticket and only one number on
my second ticket, which means I have now failed to win for 20 consecutive
draws.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 20th October 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
