Comments:
- The draw used ball set 1 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.18.
One in every 61.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.63% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,949,172.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
- The 27th appearance of the main number 37 moved it to within
one of other numbers at the basement of the main number frequency
table.
- The number 39 joined the number 19
at the bottom of the winning number frequency
table after its
31st such appearance.
- Ticket sales rose for a record-equalling
sixth consecutive draw.
- The record-breaking absence of the winning number 4 finally
came to an end after it had failed to put in an
appearance for an amazing 54
consecutive draws prior to today.
The new longest absentee is now the winning number
16, which hasn't appeared for 46 consecutive draws.
- It's been
16 draws
since the last unwon jackpot, which equals the all-time record.
- There were only two 5+bonus
winners, which is the outright lowest ever
and resulted in the highest ever 5+bonus prize for a Wednesday draw.
- I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second
ticket, so the only joy for me was that no-one else won the jackpot...
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 24th May 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
