Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.66. One in every 50.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.98% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,934,592.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £90.
• Every ball colour has now appeared at least 300 times as a main number since the lottery began.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second ticket to unsurprisingly continue my terrible run.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 25th January 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #272 (Saturday 1st August 1998) [1 jackpot winner]
