Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.82. One in every 57.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.74% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,983,260.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
• Arthur and ball set 2 have now been used together for the 23rd time - eight more times than any other machine and ball set combination.
• Ticket sales have dropped for the sixth consecutive Wednesday draw, which equals a previous record sequence that ended on Bonfire Night last year.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my second to continue my record-breaking losing run (60 consecutive draws without a win).
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 5th October 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
