Comments:

• The draw used ball set 5 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.74. One in every 57.3 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 £8,400,110.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £70.
• The 44th appearance of the main number 34 has left the rarest such numbers (13 and 20) two adrift at the bottom of the main number frequency table.
• Only two numbers (18 and 19) have failed to appear as bonus numbers on four or more occasions to date.
• The appearance of the bonus number 40 marks an astonishing 318 draws - an all-time record by some 57 draws - since the last time it made a bonus number appearance.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket, so my bad luck matched today's bad weather quite aptly.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 23rd November 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
