Comments:
- The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £35.30.
One in every 61.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.63% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,766,754.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
- It's surprisingly taken 24 weeks to achieve, but the previous ticket
sales record was smashed by 400,000 with this 9th rollover draw.
- Over 100 millionaires have now been created by the lottery.
- The numbers 25 and 41 now share joint top position (with 22)
in the main number
frequency table after both of
them appeared for the 9th time.
- After an eternity stuck at the bottom of the main number
frequency table, the number 10 makes its second such appearance,
leaving the number 39 at the bottom with its single appearance some
38 draws ago now !
- This was the largest individual jackpot prize for a draw with 8 or
more jackpot winners.
- The TV show made a big deal over
the fact that the "lottery" had now raised over £1 billion for good causes.
Ahem, but that's both the main lottery and the scratchcards
combined - we're still over
£200 million shy
of the billion mark if only the main lottery is taken into consideration.
- I failed to match anything on my first ticket and only matched one
number of my second. However, my reserve third set of 6 numbers would
have won £10 (for the second time)...if I'd have bought a ticket
with them of course.
- £773,302 of unclaimed prizes (1.75% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 14th March 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
