Lottery Results Analysis

[Spot]

Here are some statistics on past UK lottery results which I find interesting, and hopefully they are useful for anyone reading.

Calculations are based on all lottery numbers drawn starting from 24-May 2010 up to last Saturday, as recorded on my spreadsheet to track every game I have played.
