Comments:

The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £30.88. One in every 58.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.72% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,839,478.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.

The number 44 stretched its lead to three at the top of the winning number frequency table by appearing for the 38th time.

The main number pair 25, 30 is now one of only seven such pairs to have appeared seven times since the lottery began.

I matched nothing on my first three tickets and only one number on my fourth ticket as I closed to within two draws of equalling my worst ever run of winless draws.

A 5+bonus prize of £106,240 won by a ticket bought in the Dacorum Borough Council area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.

£1,129,758 of unclaimed prizes (2.73% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 5th February 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #171 (Wednesday 13th August 1997) [3 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #169 (Wednesday 6th August 1997) [No jackpot winners]
