Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.88. One in every 55.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.81% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,821,056.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £120.
• The most popular main number, 38, has opened up impressive leads in both the main (16) and winning (14) number frequency tables after its 106th and 122nd such appearances respectively.
• The main number 42 finally turned up after the third longest absence (63 consecutive draws) ever.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second, so another Saturday draw passes by for me without a profit.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 23rd May 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
