Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.65. One in every 52.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.90% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,585,568.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
• It was the 20th time (a record) that both Arthur and ball set 2 had been used together.
• This was the first time that three consecutive Saturday draws had the same number of jackpot winners.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second ticket, so I'm still waiting for my first win this year of course.
• £879,306 of unclaimed prizes (2.18% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 9th July 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #215 (Wednesday 14th January 1998) [No jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #213 (Wednesday 7th January 1998) [2 jackpot winners]
