Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.56. One in every 54.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.83% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,127,182.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
• Jimmy Tarbuck hosted this draw's TV show as a one-off.
• The number 28 has broken clear of the pack with its 20th appearance as a winning number.
• The 7th appearance of the number 36 has left the number 39 (3 appearances so far) even further adrift at the bottom of the main number frequency table.
• The winning number triple 13, 26, 36 has become only the 10th such triple to appear three times since the lottery started.
• More agony as I matched two numbers on my first ticket (none on my second though).
• £867,992 of unclaimed prizes (2.85% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 30th January 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
