Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £29.74. One in every 66.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.51% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,217,287.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
• The 30th appearance of the main number 37 has left just the numbers 19 and 20 tied at the basement of that frequency table with one less appearance.
• I matched nothing on either of my two tickets - my first blank sheet of 1999.
• A 5+bonus prize of £171,189 won by a ticket bought in the Glamorgan area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• £1,218,752 of unclaimed prizes (3.20% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 8th July 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
