Comments:
- The draw used ball set 5 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £43.72.
One in every 69.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.44% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,442,747.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £163.
- The number 25 joined the numbers 2 and
38 at the top of the main number frequency
table after its 53rd such appearance.
- The number 25 has also taken an impressive lead of three in the
winning number frequency
table after its 63rd appearance
as one of the seven numbers drawn.
- The 32nd appearance of the main number 20 has moved it off
the basement of the main number frequency table, leaving the numbers
19, 37 and 39 to languish at the bottom.
- The first appearance
of the number 36 for 39 draws has handed the longest absentee
mantles over to the numbers 45 (24 draws since
drawn as a main number) and
30 (20 draws since
drawn as a winning number).
- The ticket sales were the highest ever for
a Wednesday draw and showed the highest sales percentage increase
between two consecutive Wednesday draws.
- This draw had the highest average
prize of any Wednesday draw to date (and the
third highest average prize for any draw so far). It also had
the highest ever 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools for a Wednesday
draw.
- I matched absolutely nothing across all four of my tickets,
which is obviously my worst ever Super Draw/rollover performance.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 30th August 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
