Comments:

• The draw used ball set 8 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.02. One in every 60.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.66% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,557,440.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.
• With the number 20 appearing for the first time as a winning number in 19 draws, the longest winning number absentee is now the number 2, which has failed to appear as such for 16 draws.
• Seven ticket combinations have now won 23 prizes in the 383 draws to date.
• I matched nothing on both of my tickets, so the five minute delay that the TV show suffered because of BBC 1's coverage of the triple jump in the World Athletics Championships didn't help my cause.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 21st February 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
