Comments:
- The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £34.08.
One in every 72.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.39% of players).
- This was the 19th 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 £7,721,239.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
- The 16th main number appearance and 17th winning number appearance
of the number 32 has left the
numbers 15 and 39
two adrift at the bottom of the main number frequency
table and the number 39
also two adrift at the basement of the winning number frequency
table.
- With the appearance of the number 32 at long last, the current
crown of longest absentee goes to the number 39 (not appeared
as a main or
winning number for 32 draws).
- The winning number pair
20, 31 has now become the first such pair to appear ten times
in the history of the lottery.
- The number of 3-match, 4-match and total winners was the lowest
ever, whilst the number of 5-match winners was the second lowest in the
history of the lottery.
- The 4-match and 5-match prizes were
the highest ever for a midweek draw.
- White main number balls are the only colour of balls not to have
appeared 200 times to date.
- I matched none, two, none and - ta-ra ! - three numbers on my four tickets,
so I finally broke the duck of 59 losing draws and
snagged £10 at last.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 9th March 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
