Comments:
- The draw used ball set 5 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.14.
One in every 55.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.79% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,527,746.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
- There was a record number of 5+bonus winners for a non-rollover week.
- The appearance of the number 48 means that the highest number not yet
drawn is now 45. Also, the drawing of the number 18 for the first time leaves
the numbers 33 and 34 as the only adjacent numbers yet to appear.
- The number 38 has overtaken the all-conquering 44 as the most frequent
number by appearing in the last two lotteries and a total of 5 times out of
the 13 lotteries so far.
- Somewhere around noon on Sunday, ITV's teletext pages 123, 301 and 315
decided for themselves that - after carrying the correct details for
many hours - the jackpot amount [exactly known for over 12 hours] was
£8.3m instead, which was the jackpot estimate issued some
18 hours earlier !
They actually mentioned "8.3m" six times in all
(once on news index page 301, twice on news page 315 and three times on
lottery pages 123). It appears that BBC 1's teletext page 111 slavishly copied
ITV's mistake, but at least they used the phrase "more than £8m"
(should have been "more than £9m" of course). Ah well, what's a
mere £700,000 between friends ?
- BBC 2's teletext page 750 now carries a (badly formatted) list of all the
winning numbers so far. Yes, it's 13 weeks late and their coverage of this
week's draw (minimal info on news page 111, which is withdrawn after less than
a day) is still pretty poor considering they show the draw live on BBC 1 TV.
- No matches for me at all this week, now there's a shock.
- £859,052 of unclaimed prizes (3.09% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 10th August 1995 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
