Comments:
- The draw used ball set 6 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.61.
One in every 52.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.92% of players).
- This was the 17th 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 £8,963,602.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
- The number 25 has closed the gap to three to the leading
number 44 by appearing for the 31st time as a
main number and for the 36th time
as a winning number.
- The bonus number 20 has become the outright leader in the
bonus number frequency
table by appearing for the
eighth time.
- The main number 46 has now failed to
appear in 41
consecutive draws, which is the joint third longest main number
absence ever.
- The winning number 32 hasn't
appeared
for 37 consecutive draws, which is the joint third longest such
absence since the lottery
began.
- The main number pair 25, 47 is now one of only nine such pairs
to have appeared seven times to date.
- The winning number pair 20, 31 has been
drawn nine times, a feat only
achieved by three other such pairs.
- Three ticket combinations have
now won 15 prizes in the history of the lottery.
- I matched nothing on my first and third tickets and one number
on each of my second and fourth tickets to continue to extend my
record-breaking losing sequence.
