Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £16.85. One in every 55.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.81% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,735,641.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £70.
• The number 44 has gone back to the top of both the main number (42 appearances) and winning number (49 appearances - tied with the number 31) frequency tables.
• I won £10 for the first time since September 1997 by matching three numbers on my first ticket (nothing on my second ticket though).
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 28th December 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
