psmiffy has the right calculation.
A lesson to the wanna-wins.
Many
moons years ago, before the National Lottery was even a dream, I did the Football Pools.
You had to chose 12 matches that would end in a score draw. Get 8/12 right and you got a first dividend of the prize money, usually measured in several tens of thousands of pounds. Enough to buy several houses and cars, plus a lot of holidays at the time.
You got:-
3 points for a score draw.
2 points for a no-score draw and 1 for an away?? win IIRC.
Anywho 24 points= a big win.
So on Sunday morning I'm listening to the results and we get, to the point where I have 21 points with 2 more of my matches still to come up, and one of those is a home win, 0 points, and the last is a no-score draw!
Then the announcer says that unusually there were only 7 score draws, which means that my 23 points will get a first dividend.
I rushed to the local call box to ring the claims number and cannot get through, eventually I give up for the day swearing to stay off work tomorrow and ring them then. Only for the then Mrs Byegad to tell me that she has heard on the radio news that there were 7 score draws and no less than 10 no score draws and claims calls are not needed!
They sent out our first dividend in postage stamps as the amount was too small to send a cheque. Nobody got a second dividend that week.
