Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.36.
One in every 66.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.50% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a profit of £27,232.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- This is the 6th time there's been no jackpot winner and this comes
only 2 weeks after the last such jackpot-winless draw, which is a record
shortest gap.
- Ticket sales hit record levels for a non-rollover/Super Draw.
- Shortly after the draw, ITV teletext incorrectly claimed that next week's
jackpot pool would be about £12m, but since £10.3m has already rolled
into it (a record), this is a severely underestimated figure to say the least.
A phone call to Camelot confirmed the estimate as £20m.
- The number 31 has moved into outright second place in the
frequency table with 7 appearances
as a main number.
- Exactly 6 months after its one and only appearance, the number 40 finally
moves off the bottom of the frequency table.
- The numbers 21, 29 and 40 also appeared in
Lottery #3.
- Camelot has returned to quoting the unwon jackpot in the prize pool figure,
which is wrong of course...
- The Sunday Telegraph newspaper claimed I was a Doctor this week
(see page 21) in their lottery feature, but I don't actually have a PhD. At
least they quoted my URL correctly, unlike most other people, but that's only
because the reporter phoned me up first on Thursday to have a talk !
- Not a single match for me this week <sigh>
- £695,236 of unclaimed prizes (3.69% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 30th November 1995 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
