Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.50.
One in every 58.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.71% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £594,022.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
- With only four 5+bonus winners (the joint lowest ever), the individual
5+bonus prize was the second largest ever.
- The number 22 is now outright top of both the
main number (9 appearances) and
winning number (11 appearances)
frequency tables.
- Meat Loaf caught out the BBC cameramen in the
live TV draw by pressing the
button to start the machine before they were ready to do a close-up of the
button and his hand. However, Meat Loaf did press it when he was
first told by the announcer, but no-one noticed ! He then pressed it a couple
of more times for "show" (i.e. for the now out-of-sync camera team), but by
then, the first ball (12) had already rolled down the chute and come to a
standstill, completely missed by the BBC cameras !
Amazingly, this somewhat minor slip prompted many complaining phone calls
to the BBC, claiming the machine was faulty, the start button was bust or
the whole thing was rigged. Ho hum, the things people complain about ! Just
study a recording of the show to see what really happened...
- Not a single match for me as the zero-wins sequence continues without
a break.
- £685,777 of unclaimed prizes (3.54% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 7th March 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
