Comments:
- The draw used ball set 8 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.19.
One in every 42.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.34% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,711,723.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £177.
- The 64th main number
appearance
of the number 25 has brought it to within
one of that frequency table's leader (the number
38). However, the number 25 now leads the
winning number frequency
table
outright after its 75th such appearance.
- The 44th appearance of the winning number
13 has left the numbers
19 and 39 both five
adrift at the bottom of the winning number
frequency table.
- The 14th appearance of the main number pair
25, 32 has closed the gap to one to the leading such
pair (01, 31) in the appropriate
frequency table.
- Eight ticket
combinations
have now won 24 prizes in the 401 lotteries to date.
- Ticket sales dropped to
their lowest level for 28 months.
- I matched one number on my first ticket and
nothing on my second ticket, so I'm still on the
millennium countdown losing streak.
- A 5+bonus prize of £56,654 won by a ticket bought in the Berkshire area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 24th April 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
