Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.09. One in every 53.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.87% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,853,727.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
• The total prizes awarded by the online UK lottery to date are a whisker under £6 billion (£5,999,941,472 to be precise).
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second, which hardly came as a surprise.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 7th September 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #232 (Saturday 14th March 1998) [6 jackpot winners]
