Comments:
- The draw used ball set 5 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £34.31.
One in every 76.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.31% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,004,490.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.
- The number 39 is now joint bottom (with the
number 37 of the main number frequency
table after appearing
for the 24th time. It's also now only one behind the number 19
at the bottom of the winning number frequency
table after its
26th such appearance.
- High numbers in this draw resulted in the joint lowest number of 5+bonus
winners ever, the outright lowest
number of 5-match and 4-match winners ever and the second lowest
number of 3-match and total winners ever.
- It also generated the highest 4-match and 5-match individual
prizes for any of the Wednesday draws to date.
- I matched two numbers on my first ticket and one on my second
ticket, so three numbers in all, but no win of course.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 18th January 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
