Comments:
- The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.23.
One in every 45.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.22% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £11,126,842.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £120.
- The 76th appearance of the winning number
39 has moved it ten clear of the rarest
number in the winning number frequency
table
(the number 13).
- In case you're wondering about the freakiness of
the prizes/winners results in this draw and what they
share in common with similarly bizarre draw
results just over 7 years ago,
the answer is that the two draws are the only ones
ever to have had all 7 winning numbers in separate
playslip rows
and grouped only in 2
playslip columns.
It appears that people do like that pattern !
- This draw had the third highest number of jackpot and
5-match winners for a Wednesday draw
and also the highest number of 5+bonus winners for a Wednesday
draw ever (smashing the previous 5+bonus
record by an incredible 188 winners - it
also managed to have the second highest number of 5+bonus winners
of any draw to date).
- This draw also had the second lowest Wednesday jackpot
and 5-match prizes to date, but - even worse than that - set a new
all-time low for a 5+bonus prize for any draw (over £3,500
less than the previous record holder).
- I matched one number on each of my two tickets, so maybe
I should have tried that "drag my pen down 2 playslip columns"
that the public seems to love...
