Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.23. One in every 58.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.71% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,589,691.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 15 wins totalling £218.
I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second, so I resumed my losing ways as usual.
Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 7th August 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #745 (Wednesday 12th February 2003) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lotto: #743 (Wednesday 5th February 2003) [1 jackpot winner]
