Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.87. One in every 50.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.97% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,156,492.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £109.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second ticket, so my luck was as washed out as today's weather.
• £972,650 of unclaimed prizes (2.59% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 22nd April 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #297 (Wednesday 28th October 1998) [3 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #295 (Wednesday 21st October 1998) [1 jackpot winner]
