Comments:

• The draw used ball set 1 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £36.59. One in every 69.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.44% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,356,170.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £119.
• Ticket sales rose for a record-equalling sixth consecutive Saturday draw. Remarkably, ten out of the last eleven draws have seen an increase in sales.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket, two numbers on each of my second and third tickets and one number on my fourth ticket, so I may have matched five numbers, but I was a long way from £10, never mind £2,477.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 25th January 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
