Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.71. One in every 57.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.75% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,857,086.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £162.
• The number 2 has joined the numbers 25, 28 and 38 at the top of the main number frequency table after making its 52nd such appearance.
• I matched one number on first ticket and nothing on my second, but it was sickening to discover that I would have won £10 on my fourth ticket if this draw had been a rollover or Super Draw (I buy two extra tickets for those draws).
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 16th August 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
