Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £34.97. One in every 112.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=0.89% of players).

If all 45,057,474 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £81,698,642.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 30 wins totalling £577.

From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me. However, games with variable prize tiers such as the main Lotto can have their sales figures reverse-calculated to within a few pounds, which is what I have done.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 5.30pm BST on Monday 17th June 2019 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #2400 (Saturday 22nd December 2018) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #2398 (Saturday 15th December 2018) [No jackpot winners]
