Comments:

The draw used ball set 5 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £31.79. One in every 62.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.61% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,353,352.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £93.

It's now been 30 draws since the main number 15 has been drawn as one of the 6 balls.

The ticket sales were the second lowest ever for a single rollover draw and showed the smallest percentage increase ever between a normal Saturday draw and a single rollover draw the following Saturday.

Combined sales have now exceeded £11 billion.

I matched nothing on my first and fourth tickets, two numbers on my second ticket and one on my third ticket, so I predictably failed to win this rollover.

A 5+bonus prize of £236,259 won by a ticket bought in the Westminster area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.

£1,454,171 of unclaimed prizes (3.55% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 18th September 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #131 (Wednesday 26th March 1997) [No jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #129 (Wednesday 19th March 1997) [No jackpot winners]
