Comments:

• The draw used ball set 5 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.24. One in every 60.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.65% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,781,155.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
• There have now been over 50 million Wednesday lottery prize winners in the 90 Wednesday draws to date.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, so not such an Amazing Luck Story compared to this draw's TV show.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 19th April 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #296 (Saturday 24th October 1998) [4 jackpot winners]
