Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.43. One in every 49.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.00% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,352,840.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
• Over 1,000 jackpots have now been won since the lottery began.
• This was the first draw where all six main numbers were exactly divisible by three.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and none on my second to predictably kick off my fourth annual subscription without a win.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 24th August 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
