Comments:
- The draw used ball set 8 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.68.
One in every 43.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.28% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,728,327.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
- The numbers 5 and 44 simultaneously broke clear of the
chasing pack with
their 13th appearances as a main number. This also allowed the
number 5 to stretch its
lead
to two over other numbers if the
bonus ball is taken into consideration with a remarkable 17th
appearance as one of the seven numbers drawn.
- The numbers 7, 35 and 44 also appeared in
Lottery #50, whilst the numbers 5, 7 and
44 made an appearance in Lottery #33 as
well.
- There's now been over £2 billion of
prizes awarded since the
lottery began.
- Two matches for me this week - as good as Paul McKenna, who
"suggested" the numbers 40, 16, 24, 42, 36, 7 and a bonus of 2 (yep,
no ball in the correct position) on his ITV show on Monday night.
This gave him 3 out of the 7 balls if you ignore the order,
although only 2 out of the 6 if you exclude
the bonus number (which you can't buy on a ticket of course).
The "experiment" involved McKenna picking 7 numbers at random and
then telling the TV viewers to "think hard about the numbers" he'd
picked when the draw was made on Saturday ! If you think you can
influence the lottery balls by mind control, please check yourself
into the nearest mental institution...you need serious help. :-)
- £871,460 of unclaimed prizes (2.62% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 22nd August 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
