Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.79.
One in every 73.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.37% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a profit of £1,091,337.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
- The main number 29 has now failed to
appear for 40 consecutive
draws, although this is still 12 draws behind the
year-long record held by the main number 39.
- This draw had the lowest number of 4-match and 5-match
winners in over a year.
- The total number of winners for this draw dipped below
1 million for the first time since July last year, some
29 draws ago.
- This was the third largest
unwon jackpot for a normal week
in the history of the lottery.
- The failure of anyone to win the jackpot for this draw means
that the consecutively won jackpot sequence of 13 draws prior to
this draw has ground to a halt and it's likely, with the
introduction of midweek draw in
2 draws' time, that the current record of 14 consecutively won
jackpots won't be beaten for a long time.
- One match each of my two tickets continues the terrible
run of bad luck I've been having :-(
- £731,656 of unclaimed prizes (3.75% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 24th July 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
