Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.74. One in every 50.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.98% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,729,516.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.
• The main number 13 has now failed to appear for 45 consecutive draws, which is the joint third longest absence ever.
• The winning number triple 03, 14, 30 is the 11th such triple to have appeared 4 times since the lottery began.
• Five ticket combinations have now won 16 prizes in the 206 draws to date.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second to continue my all-too-common habit of a long losing streak.
• £1,315,997 of unclaimed prizes (3.28% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 11th June 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
