Comments:
- The draw used ball set 10 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £15.19.
One in every 47.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.10% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a profit of £2,040,223.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
- The number 44 has starred yet again in this draw:
- It has a lead of 6 in the main number
frequency table with its
37th such appearance.
- It is leading by 5 in the winning number
frequency table after
appearing as one of the seven balls for the 43rd time.
- It's now appeared in four consecutive draws as a winning number (although
it also managed to appear a record six times in a row between draws
#90 and
#95).
- It has become only the second number to be the highest number of the six
main balls and to appear as such for three consecutive draws.
- The main number triple 29, 31, 32 is one of only
15 such
triples to have appeared three
times in the history of the lottery.
- Needless to say, the unwon jackpot
prize was the third largest not to be won.
- Ticket sales were a record for a midweek draw
and also showed the second largest week-to-week percentage increase ever.
- The average prize was the lowest ever in the history of the lottery.
- I matched one, two, none and two numbers on my four
respective tickets, so no win for me yet again.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 23rd March 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
