Comments:
- The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.41.
One in every 50.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.98% of players).
- This was the 9th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £5,000,000.
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,816,742.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
- The number 25 has joined the number
44 at the top of the main number frequency
table with its
28th appearance. It also similarly joined the number
5 at the top of the winning number frequency
table after
being drawn for the 33rd time.
- The number 42 has finally
appeared
as a bonus number, leaving only two numbers,
18 and 35, not to have been
drawn as bonus numbers.
- The winning number pair 25, 48 is only the
second such pair
to have been drawn nine times since the lottery began.
- The main number 15 has continued to
elude
the draw for 55 consecutive lotteries now, which stretches
its all-time record even further.
- There are now two ticket
combinations that have won
14 prizes in the 155 lotteries to date.
- Even though they rose compared to last Wednesday,
ticket sales were still the second
worst for any Super Draw or rollover to date and fell over
£2m short of the
third worst such draw sales.
- This was first time that four consecutive draws were "non-normal"
(i.e. Super Draws or rollovers).
- I matched nothing on my first and third tickets plus
only one number on each of my second and fourth tickets
to continue my worst losing streak since the winless
year I had at the very beginning of the lottery.
- A 5+bonus prize of £91,393 won by a ticket bought in the Swansea area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 15th December 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
