Comments:

The draw used ball set 4 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.97. One in every 74.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.34% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,553,663.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.

This draw had the second lowest number of 4-match, 3-match and total winners ever. This naturally also meant that it also had the second lowest 3-match prize pool since the lottery began.

I matched one number on each of my two tickets as another midweek draw failure passed me by.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 15th June 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #208 (Saturday 20th December 1997) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #206 (Saturday 13th December 1997) [2 jackpot winners]
