Comments:
- The draw used ball set 14 in the Vyvyan machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.44.
One in every 45.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.20% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,979,536.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 20 wins totalling £200.
- The 117th winning number appearance
of the number 25 has brought it to within eleven of the
runaway leader (the number 38).
- The number 18 has moved itself off the joint bottom
of the bonus number frequency
table after its 6th bonus
number appearance, leaving the number 19 on its own at the basement.
- Camelot's renaming of "Lottery" to "Lotto" didn't impress the
lottery-playing public and they voted with their wallets in droves, driving
the ticket sales down to their lowest ever for a Saturday
(and below £44m for the first time). Sales actually fell by over 20%, which was
the first time that's happened in over 3 years and it was also
the largest percentage sales drop in over 4 years.
- I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second ticket,
so my continued subscription to the lottery didn't turn up trumps tonight.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 21st November 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
