Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.71. One in every 55.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.80% of players).
• This was the 24th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £10,000,002.
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,795,018.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
• This was the first Saturday Super Draw for almost exactly a year and it had the third highest ever ticket sales for a Super Draw.
• I matched nothing on my first and third tickets, one number on my second ticket and two numbers on my fourth ticket, leaving me £4 down for this 24th Super Draw.
• £1,269,636 of unclaimed prizes (2.24% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 14th May 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
