Comments:
- The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.70.
One in every 57.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.75% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,385,177.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £70.
- The number 44 now has a lead of 2 in the
main number frequency
table after its
46th main number appearance and is now joint top of
the winning number frequency
table
with the number 14 after appearing as
a winning number for the 53rd time.
- This was only the second time that 3 of the 4 numbers in the 10th
row of the playslip appeared
as winning numbers in a single draw.
- For the third Wednesday out of the last five, the number of
5+bonus winners equalled the lowest ever.
- I won £10 on my first ticket (no matches on my
second ticket) - it's my first win for 14 draws though...
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 15th February 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
