Comments:
- The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £16.61.
One in every 37.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.70% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,344,984.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
- Because of the low numbers, this draw had the highest number
of 3-match and total winners of
any normal Wednesday draw to date.
- The 4-match prize was the joint lowest Wednesday 4-match
prize ever and the joint second lowest 4-match prize of all time.
- For draws where the jackpot was won, the jackpot prize
for this draw was the second lowest since the lottery began.
- The 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools were all the
second lowest ever.
- I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my
second ticket, which really didn't surprise me at all (yes, I
lost again).
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 2nd November 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
