Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.60.
One in every 50.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.99% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,929,938.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
This is two more prior wins than any other previous jackpot ticket.
- Drawmaster John Willan could not start the Guinevere lottery
machine, so the balls failed to drop and the machine paddles did not
rotate, which has never happened before. Bob Monkhouse took the microphone and
confusingly suggested that the draw might take place in the middle of the next
BBC 1 programme (a tedious
hospital drama called Casualty), but a voiceover during the closing
credits confirmed that it would follow Casualty. Sure enough, the
draw took place successfully approximately 55 minutes late, using the
same machine (whose by now fixed fault was associated with a "safety device").
Oflot have launched a full inquiry into the machine failure.
- The number 5 has joined the number 44 at the top
of the winning number table with
its 24th appearance as one of the 7 balls drawn.
- The main number triple 12, 26, 49 has become only the fourth such
triple to
appear 3 times since the lottery began.
Less impressively, it was also the 22nd winning number
triple to have appeared 3 times.
- Yes, this was the first time that the highest possible two winning numbers,
48 and 49, had appeared together in a draw.
- Four ticket
combinations
have now won 12 or more prizes (all £10 each) in the 107 draws to date.
- There have now been exactly 1,000 (out of a possible 1,176) winning number
pairs drawn in the history of the lottery.
- ITV teletext page 123 repeated their mistake of
4 weeks ago by putting an "m" on the end of the exact
jackpot pool, scaling it up to a mere £9.6 trillion.
- One match on my first ticket and none on my second continues my
dismal 8-draw losing streak - my longest period without a win since
lotteries #75-#82, over 5 months ago.
- A 5+bonus prize of £185,412 won by a ticket bought in the Harrow area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
- £949,567 of unclaimed prizes (2.98% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 29th May 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
