Comments:

The draw used ball set 3 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.16. One in every 52.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.91% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,495,474.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £186.
Despite unusually turning up in two consecutive draws as a bonus number, the 7th such appearance of the number 19 still leaves it two adrift at the basement of the bonus number frequency table.
I matched one number on each of my first three tickets and nothing on my fourth ticket, so there's another rollover that I got rolled over on.
Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 19th June 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
