Comments:
- The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £15.31.
One in every 48.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.08% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,415,169.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £90.
- It's been
16 draws since the jackpot was last unwon, which equals the
longest gap ever between unwon jackpots.
- The number 27 has now incredibly appeared in 6 of the last
7 draws !
- There are now four ticket combinations
that have won 20 prizes in the 283 lotteries to date, including the very
"hot"
ticket
2, 9, 10, 27, 42 and 44, which has won a prize in 4 of the last
6 draws (and one of those was a 4-match prize).
- I matched one number on my first ticket and none of my second, but if it
was a rollover or Super Draw I would have won £10 on my
fourth ticket...
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 8th March 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
