Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.15. One in every 58.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.72% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,745,385.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £157.
• The 45th main number appearance of the number 20 has left the number 13 as the outright rarest main number on one less appearance.
• The main number pair 01, 31 has moved to within one of the leader of its frequency table (the pair 38, 46) after its 16th such appearance.
• The main number 17 has now failed to appear in 65 consecutive draws, which equals the all-time record set by the number 15 over 3 years ago.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket, but the biggest disappointment with this draw was that it wasn't a Super Draw to celebrate the 500th UK lottery draw.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 5th April 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
