Comments:
- The draw used ball set 1 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.72.
One in every 43.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.28% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,134,616.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 13 wins totalling £130.
- The 77th winning number appearance of the number
38 has the closed the gap to the frequency
table
leader (the number 25) to two.
- The first appearance of the number 48
in 37 draws has left the longest main number
absentee
crown in the hands of the numbers
30 and 45, both of which have
failed to appear for 25 draws.
- The total prize pool
was the lowest for a Saturday draw where the jackpot was won.
- Ticket sales were the lowest ever seen
for a Saturday draw, though the dampening influence of the Christmas break
and the Big Draw 2000 obviously didn't help.
- I matched one number on each of my two tickets, so my losing streak did
indeed manage to span two millennia.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 29th June 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
