Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.90. One in every 48.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.05% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,469,717.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 11 wins totalling £183.
• The 57th appearance of the main number 13 has made it the joint rarest such number (along with the number 20). It still lags nine behind the rest though in the winning number frequency table after its 65th appearance as one of the seven drawn numbers.
• Nine ticket combinations have now won 32 prizes in the 624 lotteries to date.
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and nothing on my second to continue my current losing run.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 13th June 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #625 (Wednesday 19th December 2001) [1 jackpot winner]
