Comments:

The draw used ball set 7 in the Vyvyan machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.89. One in every 59.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.67% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,371,106.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £162.

For the first time ever, ticket sales for a Saturday draw dropped below £40m.

Lotto HotPicks continues to perform well, again setting record ticket sales (most of which probably came from people who "defected" from the main draw) and the highest number of Pick 2 and Pick 3 winners to date.

I matched two numbers on my first ticket and one on my second to continue my recent losing run.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 23rd January 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #689 (Wednesday 31st July 2002) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lotto: #687 (Wednesday 24th July 2002) [2 jackpot winners]
