Comments:
- The draw used ball set 5 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.60.
One in every 52.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.90% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,824,325.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
- There are now only 10 winning number
pairs
that have failed to be drawn in any of the lotteries to date.
- Ticket sales dropped
for the seventh consecutive Wednesday draw, which has never happened before.
- I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second
ticket, which made it a pretty typical (i.e. losing) draw for me.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 12th October 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
