Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £31.17. One in every 69.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.44% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,930,497.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
• This was the first time that 4 of the 6 main numbers were in the first column of the playslip.
• It was only the third time that all 7 numbers had used just two playslip columns.
• The ticket sales were the worst for a Saturday draw for over two years and this meant that the total prize pool was the lowest for a Saturday draw where the jackpot was won since that same draw over two years ago.
• Scratchcard sales were the lowest since the first week they were introduced.
• I matched two numbers and was one out on a third number on my first ticket, but didn't match anything on my second ticket.
• £870,008 of unclaimed prizes (2.21% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 2nd October 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
