Comments:

The draw used ball set 5 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.18. One in every 49.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.03% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,263,148.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.

The number 44 made its 18th appearance as a main number (outright top of that table) and its 21st appearance as a winning number (joint top of that table with the number 28, which also appeared this week).

Conversely, the number 39 made only its fourth appearance as a main or winning number, which still leaves it firmly anchored in the basement.

I matched 3 numbers this week (on my first ticket, no matches on the second ticket) and had my sixth win of £10.

One of the 5+bonus prizes, won by a ticket bought in Preston, remained unclaimed for 180 days and ended up in the Good Causes fund. The failure to claim the £152,891 prize meant that the unclaimed prizes for this draw were the third highest ever.

£1,159,779 of unclaimed prizes (3.86% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 13th February 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #93 (Saturday 24th August 1996) [7 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #91 (Saturday 10th August 1996) [2 jackpot winners]
