Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £32.64. One in every 64.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.55% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,676,352.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £112. This is the second highest total value of prizes previously won by a jackpot ticket.

The tenth appearance of the main number 19 not only means that all numbers have now appeared at least 10 times as one of the main 6 balls, but also that it joins the number 37 at the bottom of the frequency table.

The number 19 joins the number 37 again at the bottom of a table - this time the one for winning number frequencies - with its 12th appearance.

The main number triple 19, 36, 39 is only the eighth such triple to have appeared three times since the lottery began.

Statistics can be a double-edged sword: whilst these were the best ticket sales since the midweek lottery began, they were also the third worst ever ticket sales for a single rollover.

No match on my first three tickets and one match on my fourth ticket continue my terrible losing sequence.

£1,131,201 of unclaimed prizes (2.70% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 25th September 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #133 (Wednesday 2nd April 1997) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #131 (Wednesday 26th March 1997) [No jackpot winners]
