Comments:
- The draw used ball set 7 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.26.
One in every 47.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.11% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,377,209.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
- The 29th appearance of the main number 37 has left
the numbers 19, 20 and 39 tied
on one less appearance at the bottom of that frequency
table.
- The winning number 16 finally turned up after
an impressive absence
in 47 consecutive draws. This handed over the current longest
absentee mantle over to the number 20, which hasn't
appeared as a
main number
for 28 draws or as a
winning number
for 27 draws.
- I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second,
so I wasn't waiting with baited breath for the delayed results, that's
for sure !
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 31st May 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
