Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.06. One in every 52.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.92% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,686,166.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £140.
• I match one number on my 1st and 4th tickets and nothing on my 2nd and 3rd tickets, so that's £4 "rolled over and died" for me.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 29th March 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #499 (Wednesday 4th October 2000) [2 jackpot winners]
