Comments:
- The draw used ball set 8 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.69.
One in every 63.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.57% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,105,658.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £253.
This is an all-time record amount that's been won previously
by a jackpot ticket.
- The number 38 has joined the number 2
at the top of the main number frequency
table
after its 54th such appearance.
- The third appearance of the number 35 as a bonus number
has left the number 18 two adrift at the basement of the
bonus number frequency table.
- The main number triple 01, 07, 38 has become the first one to
appear five times since the lottery began.
It's also the first winning number triple to have
appeared six times to date.
- The first
appearance of the main number
45 for 28 draws has left the longest main number
absentees as the numbers
12 and 30 (both haven't appeared for 24 draws).
The number 30 is now also the new longest winning number
absentee, having failed to
appear for 24 draws.
- I matched one number on my first ticket and two numbers on my second
ticket, but you don't win £10 for matching 3 numbers across two tickets
sadly :-(
