Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £15.87. One in every 50.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.97% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,190,347.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £120.
• The first appearance of the winning number 2 in 25 draws meant that the new longest winning number absentee is now the number 44, which has failed to appear as one of the 7 winning numbers for 21 draws.
• This was the first time that three consecutive Wednesday jackpots were unwon and hence next Saturday will mark the first time there's ever been three consecutive Saturday rollover draws.
• I matched nothing on either of my two tickets, but at least no-one else won the jackpot :-)
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 2nd October 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #448 (Saturday 8th April 2000) [4 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #446 (Saturday 1st April 2000) [10 jackpot winners]
