Comments:

• The draw used ball set 1 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.68. One in every 48.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.07% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,626,610.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
• With the 31st appearances of the main numbers 19 and 37, there are only two such numbers at the bottom of the main number frequency table now - 20 and 39.
• The 34th appearance of the winning number 19 has left the number 39 at the outright bottom of the winning number frequency table.
• The number 47 has become only the second number to have appeared as a bonus number 14 times since the lottery began.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, so the arrival of my subscription renewal certificate this week didn't bring me any luck, that's for sure.
• A jackpot prize of £1,234,612 won by a ticket bought in the Kingston Upon Hull area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• £2,317,606 of unclaimed prizes (6.08% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 29th July 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #325 (Wednesday 3rd February 1999) [2 jackpot winners]
