Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.15. One in every 53.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.86% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,919,417.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £114.
• The number 44 is now the outright leader of the main number frequency table after its 45th such appearance.
• The 12th appearance of the bonus number 20 has made it the outright leader of the bonus number frequency table.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and two numbers on my second - so that's 3 matches and no win yet again.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 8th February 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
