Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.77. One in every 46.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.17% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,932,319.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.

The main number 15 has now failed to appear for 41 consecutive draws, which is the joint second longest such absence ever.

The main number pair 17, 40 is now only one of nine such pairs to have appeared 6 or more times since the lottery began.

The ticket sales were yet again the worst the lottery had ever seen.

The 5+bonus and 4-match prize pools were the second lowest in the history of the lottery, whilst the total prize pool was the third lowest ever.

No win for me again as I failed to match a single number on either of my tickets.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 27th October 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #142 (Saturday 3rd May 1997) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #140 (Saturday 26th April 1997) [6 jackpot winners]
