Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Topaz machine.
• This was the 558th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £1,000,000.
• From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me. However, games with variable prize tiers such as this one can have their sales figures reverse-calculated to within a few pounds, which is what I have done.
• Prizes won in this draw must be claimed within 180 days i.e. by 5.30pm BST on Thursday 14th September 2006.
