The next table displays the draw order, revised frequencies and the last prior appearance of each of the 7 balls.
Comments:
- The draw used ball set 3 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.95.
One in every 48.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.05% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,990,049.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
This was only the second time that this has happened.
- The 18th appearance of the main number
48 has closed the gap to the current leader (number 44)
to three in the frequency table.
- The winning number pair 07, 35 has now broken into an outright
lead at the top of the table
with its seventh appearance to date.
- The winning number triple 07, 23, 48 now joins 18 other such triples
at the top of the table with its 3rd
appearance since the lottery began.
- The ticket sales and hence the
total prize pool were the highest for a
normal week since Lottery #68, some 8 months ago.
This makes you wonder why we need a second midweek draw !
- Total ticket sales for the 103 draws have now exceeded £7 billion.
- Scratchcard sales crashed spectacularly
to their lowest level since the first
week they were introduced (over 19 months ago).
- Lucky Dip sales were at a record level
(and a record percentage of ticket sales) for a normal week.
- This was the first time that the won individual jackpot
prize was less
than £1 million since Lottery #71, more than seven
months ago.
- Over 12 million ticket combinations
have now won at least one prize in the history of the lottery, which leaves
less than 2 million losing combinations of course.
- ITV teletext page 123 incorrectly stated the jackpot prize pool as
being £9.4 trillion all week, which is incredible !
- This was the first time that two consecutive draws had more than
£1 million of unclaimed prizes.
- Only one match for me (on my second ticket) as I go another week
without winning. Sickeningly, if this week's numbers had appeared for last
week's rollover instead, I'd have won £10 with my fourth ticket...grrr...
- £1,006,192 of unclaimed prizes (3.17% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 1st May 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
Next Lottery: #104 (Saturday 9th November 1996) [3 jackpot winners]
