Comments:
- The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.15.
One in every 58.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.72% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,406,452.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
- If you include the bonus number, then there is a remarkable consecutive
line of four numbers in column 1 of the playslip (16 to 31), which hasn't
happened before.
Also, for only the second time, the 6 main numbers were on separate rows.
- For the second week running, the non-rollover ticket sales hit a new
record high.
- This was the first time two of the
previous week's 6 main numbers (16 and 31) had
re-appeared the following week. Similarly, three of last week's 7 winning
numbers (4, 16 and 31) also re-appeared this week, which hadn't happened
before either.
- According to the Scottish Sunday Mail, six lottery terminals were
stolen in the Glasgow area before they were actually delivered to their
official destination. At least three of those terminals are known to have been
used to print "fake" tickets, sold onto the public at £1 a go without
actually connecting to Camelot's central computer system. This is extremely
surprising because surely the terminals should refuse to print tickets unless
a valid connection to Camelot's system is established ? If they can print
legitimate-looking tickets without such a connection, this leaves them wide
open to fraud !
- No matches for me for the second week running...
- £630,374 of unclaimed prizes (2.29% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 27th July 1995 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
