Comments:
- The draw used ball set 2 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £42.70.
One in every 66.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.51% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £3,582,432.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
- The number 38 has extended its lead
to five at the top of both the
main and
winning number
frequency tables after its 78th and 92nd such appearances
respectively.
- The number 20 has now been
drawn as a
bonus number 18 times, one more than any other number.
- This was the first time that three consecutive Wednesday
draws had only a single jackpot winner.
- This draw had the second highest average prize for a
Wednesday draw.
- I matched nothing on my first ticket, one number on second
and third tickets and two numbers on my fourth ticket, so this
rollover, amidst the confusion of the failed two lottery bids,
did me no favours.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 19th February 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
