Comments:
- The draw used ball set 1 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £16.67.
One in every 54.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.83% of players).
- This was the 18th 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 £5,738,472.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.
- The winning number 25 has now closed to within two of
the frequency
table
leader (the number 44) by appearing for the 37th time.
- The lottery TV show was cancelled
out of respect for the death of Princess Diana, although the
draw went ahead as usual off-camera, with the winning numbers appearing on
teletext shortly afterwards. Alan Dedicoat (the Voice of the Balls)
appeared in the
Lottery Chat Room to provide a world-exclusive
commentary !
- I matched nothing on my first and fourth tickets, two numbers on my
second ticket (and one out on a third number) and one number on my
third ticket, which predictably resulted in yet another
Super Draw loss.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 2nd March 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
