Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.87. One in every 46.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.15% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,727,785.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.
• Both of the longest absentees, the numbers 4 and 14, turned up in this draw after a sequence of 33 consecutive draws without an appearance, which handed their mantles over to the main number 6 (not appeared for 31 draws) and the winning number 19 (not appeared for 19 draws).
• Saturday ticket sales have now exceeded £15 billion since the lottery began.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second, so I said goodbye to another £2.
• A 5+bonus prize of £68,441 won by a ticket bought in the Suffolk area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 11th November 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
