Comments:
- The draw used ball set B in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.56.
One in every 56.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.76% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,779,647.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
- Anthea Turner became the semi-permanent lottery
TV show host from this draw onwards, although
she eventually quit after hosting show #75.
- Yes, we have the first four millionaires created as the result of the UK
National Lottery !
- Outrageously, some UK tabloid newspapers have been offering rewards
if people "snitch" on the two remaining anonymous jackpot winners and
identify them ! This is grossly offensive "chequebook journalism" if ever I
saw it...
- It's amazing how vague TV, teletext and the newspapers are about
the exact numbers of winners and sizes of prizes in each category.
Everyone concentrates on the Jackpot and 5+bonus prizes, but info on other
categories is slim (and often annoyingly rounded) to non-existent. I ended up
scrabbling through the tabloids in W.H. Smith's on Monday morning and
eventually found the above info in the "Today" newspaper.
- The number 44 cropped up for the second consecutive week.
- The number of lottery retailers has now increased by 300 to a total of
10,800.
- Only one number matched for me this week.
- £485,577 of unclaimed prizes (2.25% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 25th May 1995 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
