Comments:
- The draw used ball set 4 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.40.
One in every 80.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.24% of players).
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,820,072.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £70.
- The 80th main number
appearance of
the number 25 has brought it to within 9
of the table leader (the number 38).
It is also within 8 of the same leader of the winning
number frequency table
after its 97th such appearance.
- This draw had the lowest number of 5-match, 4-match,
3-match and total winners ever.
It also had the joint second lowest number of
5+bonus winners ever.
- The low number of winners conversely meant, of course,
that there were high individual prizes, including the highest
ever 5-match and 4-match Wednesday prizes and the second
highest won 5+bonus Wednesday prize. The 3-match and total prize pools
were, however, the lowest in the history of the lottery.
- I matched nothing at all on either of my two tickets, so
my millennium misery continues...
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 24th September 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
