Comments:
- The draw used ball set 7 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.19.
One in every 65.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.52% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a profit of £119,881.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- Last week's pack of five main numbers on 14 appearances has suddenly been
split by the 15th main number
appearance of the number 44,
giving it an outright lead. At the other end of the table, the number 39 is now
3 adrift from all other main numbers thanks to the appearance of "unlucky" 13
for the 6th time.
- There are now only two
ticket combinations
that have failed to manage at least one 2-match in the history of the lottery.
- Ticket sales continued their
downwards spiral with a third consecutive weekly fall to yet again reach
their lowest level this year. Similarly, the
manual sales
were the worst for 16 months (over a year before the
introduction of Lucky Dip !), having
fallen for a record sixth consecutive week.
- Both the scratchcard sales
and combined sales also
crashed for the third consecutive week, reaching their lowest point since
the
first week of the introduction of
Instants.
- This was the third largest unwon jackpot prize pool for a normal draw.
- Yes ! I managed my fourth £10
win since the lottery started as my
ever-present first ticket matched three numbers (the second ticket matched
one number as well).
- £663,419 of unclaimed prizes (3.42% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 12th December 1996 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
