Comments:

The draw used ball set 6 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £29.65. One in every 66.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.52% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,741,671.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.

The ticket with the numbers 5, 14, 18, 25, 37 and 44 has become the first one to have won 14 prizes since the lottery began.

There are now less than 100 winning number pairs that have never been drawn to date.

There have been two jackpot winners for 5 of the last 6 draws, which hasn't happened before for any number of jackpot winners.

Scratchcard sales dropped to their lowest level since the first week they were introduced (which was over two years ago).

This was the first time that the combined sales dropped below £100m since the midweek draw began.

I apologise for the delayed updates and comments, which were due to the fact that the ISDN Pipeline 50 box I had at home is now being used elsewhere, disabling my home Internet access.

I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second ticket, notching up yet another loss.

£968,177 of unclaimed prizes (2.51% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 16th October 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #139 (Wednesday 23rd April 1997) [5 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #137 (Wednesday 16th April 1997) [2 jackpot winners]
