Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Merlin machine.
• This was the 8th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £1,000,000.
• One glimmer of hope for the Extra game is that the rate of fall of the ticket sales is decreasing (it was by less than £25,000 this Saturday), so perhaps a plateau is due to be reached soon. However, to have a heavily-promoted game (yes, the TV ads and posters are still running) already selling 18% less than its launch a month ago doesn't bode well for its future.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 7th June 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
