Comments:
- The draw used ball set 2 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.56.
One in every 59.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.69% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,321,660.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- The number 16 joins 5 and 44 at the top of the main number
frequency table with its
13th appearance.
- The controversy surrounding the new 3-match
prize rule (which will probably
never be used in our lifetime and hence is of little consequence) may have
affected this week's
ticket sales which fell by about
2.75m - the largest such drop between any two consecutive "normal" weeks to
date.
- Similarly, the
combined sales dropped for a record
sixth consecutive week.
- The number of 5+bonus
winners
was the third highest in the history of
lottery ("lucky 7" factor ?), which unfortunately meant that the 5+bonus
prize was also the third lowest ever.
- No matches at all for me this week, but it was agonising
that I didn't buy a second ticket this week (and my second
subscription - with that second ticket -
doesn't start for two more weeks) because that would have been a 3-match...
- £930,815 of unclaimed prizes (2.95% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 5th September 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
