Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.60.
One in every 56.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.76% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,259,419.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- The number 25 has joined the number 5
at the top of the main number
frequency table with its 26th
appearance and has moved to within one of the number 5 in the
winning number frequency
table with its
31st such appearance.
- The 14th appearance
of the main number 19 has left two numbers,
15 and 20, at the bottom of that frequency table
with 13 appearances each.
- The number 39 is now on its own at the bottom of
the winning number frequency table after the 16th appearance of
the number 19.
- The winning number pair 25, 48 is one of only five such
pairs to have been drawn eight or
more times since the lottery began.
- The ticket sales were the lowest
ever in the history of the lottery and this, of course,
resulted in the lowest total
prize pool
ever for a draw where the jackpot won.
- There are now seven ticket
combinations that have won 13 or more
prizes since the lottery began.
- I failed to match any numbers on my two tickets, which is no surprise
considering my recent bad run.
- A 5+bonus prize of £75,951 won by a ticket bought in the Southwark area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 24th November 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
