Comments:

The draw used ball set 11 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.32. One in every 71.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.40% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £4,460,288.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £378.
Ticket sales were the worst for a Saturday main Lotto draw ever, crashing below £40m for only the second time in history.
This main Lotto draw had the second lowest number of 5-match winners for a Saturday draw ever (one of the people in the chat room claimed to have matched 5 numbers and this was prior to the full results being announced) and also the lowest number of Saturday 4-match, 3-match and total winners to date.
Needless to say, this main Lotto draw had the lowest ever total prize pool for a Saturday draw.
Lotto HotPicks had the lowest number of Pick 3 winners for a Saturday draw to date.
Annoyingly, if this main Lotto draw had been a single rollover rather than next Wednesday's, I'd have won £10 on my fourth ticket. As it was, my two subscription tickets completely failed to match any numbers at all.
Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 13th February 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #695 (Wednesday 21st August 2002) [5 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #693 (Wednesday 14th August 2002) [2 jackpot winners]
