Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £15.19. One in every 47.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.11% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,773,543.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
• The 36th main number and 39th winning number appearance of the number 19 has moved it off the bottom position of the respective frequency tables it was sharing with the number 39.
• Ticket sales dropped to their lowest level for any draw in the last 28 months.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second, so I could only take comfort in the fact that tonight marked the end of a run of several months since there was an unwon Wednesday jackpot...
• A 5+bonus prize of £61,482 won by a ticket bought in the Hertfordshire area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 10th April 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
