Comments:
- The draw used ball set 3 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £38.69.
One in every 58.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.71% of players).
- This was the 25th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £15,000,000.
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,186,655.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.
- Ticket sales were the highest ever for
a Wednesday draw.
- The average prize was the highest seen
by any Wednesday draw to date.
- The jackpot, 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools were all the
highest ever for a Wednesday draw.
- I matched two numbers on my first ticket, one each on my second and
ticket tickets and nothing on my fourth ticket, so I surreptitiously avoided
becoming a millionaire yet again.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 18th May 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
