Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.83.
One in every 50.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.97% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,399,500.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £166.
- After the 30th
appearance of the main number
20, there are now four numbers tied at the basement
of the main number frequency table:
19, 20, 37 and 39.
- There are now less than 30,000 ticket
combinations (out of a possible
13,983,816) that have failed to win a single prize in any of the 323
lotteries to date.
- The sum (85) of the 7 winning
numbers was the lowest ever and the
sum (74) of the 6 main numbers was the
second lowest so far.
- The total
prize pool
for this draw was only £57 more than the
previous Wednesday draw, which is the narrowest gap
between consecutive (Wed-to-Wed or Sat-to-Sat) total prize pools ever.
- I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second,
but with such low numbers being drawn, I wasn't exactly surprised.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 26th July 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
