Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £30.31. One in every 57.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.73% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,972,125.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
• The 63rd appearance of the main number 21 has moved it three clear of the rarest main number (the number 13).
• I matched nothing on my first three tickets and two numbers on my fourth ticket, so doubling up the spend on tickets doubled up my luck this year (twice zero is zero...).
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 5th September 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
