Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £28.15. One in every 62.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.60% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,687,995.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £66.
• The winning number 13 failed to appear for the 41st consecutive draw, which is the joint second longest such absence ever.
• There are now two ticket combinations that have won 16 prizes in the 202 lotteries to date.
• Lucky Dip sales were the highest ever for a week with a normal Wednesday and Saturday draw.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket, so that's another £2 that went begging.
• A 5+bonus prize of £152,305 won by a ticket bought in the Leeds area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• £1,246,986 of unclaimed prizes (3.03% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 28th May 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
