The table below is courtesy of Camelot's phone line (0845 9100 000 *10).

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 5 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £30.95. One in every 47.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.11% of players).
• This was the 5th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £10,000,008.
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,489,185.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40. This was the third time that a jackpot ticket had four previous wins and has only been bettered by the 6 prior wins of Lottery #107's jackpot ticket.
• The number 5 has joined the number 44 at the top of the main number frequency table with its 21st appearance. It's also taken an outright lead in the winning number frequency table by being drawn as one of the 7 balls for the 26th time.
• The winning number pair 05, 14 is now one of only four to have appeared 7 times since the lottery began.
• The number of jackpot winners was the highest for almost a year.
• The individual jackpot prize was the highest won by 15 or more jackpot winners in a single draw.
• Yes, the "guaranteed" £10m jackpot prize pool actually was rounded up this week (unlike last Wednesday) and it went £8 over the figure !
• Needless to say, these were the worst online ticket sales ever for a single draw and it was the first time they've crashed below £30m. Basically, this second midweek Super Draw was an even bigger failure than the first one !
• The number of 3-match and total winners was the second lowest since the lottery began.
• The 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools were the lowest ever, whilst the 3-match prize pool was the second lowest ever.
• There are now 8 ticket combinations that have won 12 or more prizes in the history of the lottery.
• I won another £10 (on my second ticket) - so that's both midweek draws where I've won a tenner and I've now hit £100 in total winnings ! I matched one on my first ticket and none on my third and fourth.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 11th August 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
