Well that draw was a milestone in that it has the highest sum of the main balls =250 in UK lotto history.

It also has the distinction of being only the second time that the balls have been drawn in reverse order for all 7 balls.

49-47-46-42-37-29-4

No wonder it rolled over.

Interesting, Frank. Thanks for the stats. I knew that it was unusual when you could have played the top 20 numbers and matched all 6!

Good luck!
