Comments:
- The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.83.
One in every 55.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.81% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,988,724.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £77.
- The main number 42 has failed to
appear for 42 consecutive
draws, which is the outright third longest such
absence ever.
- The main number 01, 04, 06 triple has now
appeared
three times since the lottery began and has become the first such
same-colour triple (white in this case) to do so.
- This was only the second time that 4 of the 6 main balls were
white (and hence all less than 10).
- Ticket sales dropped for a record
6th consecutive Wednesday draw, which matches the 6-draw equivalent sequence
for Saturday draws (#118-#128).
- I matched nothing and one number respectively on my two tickets,
which seems to be happening with alarming regularity !
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 4th May 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
