Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £37.75. One in every 58.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.72% of players).
• This was the 46th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £20,000,000.
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a profit of £308,405.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £70.
• This draw had the third largest won individual jackpot prize of all time.
• I matched one number on each of my first two tickets and nothing on my third and fourth tickets, so it wasn't such a Super Draw for me.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 15th March 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
