Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.16. 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 £10,302,556.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 11 wins totalling £161.
• The winning number pair 09, 27 has stretched its lead to an impressive three at the top of the appropriate frequency table after its 20th such appearance.
• Ticket sales were the lowest for any draw in the past 2.5 years.
• I matched one number of each of my two tickets which unsurprisingly continued my prediction that won't win again in this millennium.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 12th June 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
