Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.62. One in every 59.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.69% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,415,030.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £121.
• The 48th appearance of the main number 34 has left the numbers 13 and 20 five adrift at the bottom of the main number frequency table.
• The winning number 13, conversely, moved to within three of the rest at the bottom of the winning number frequency table after its 49th appearance.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second, so I was out of luck yet again on a Saturday.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 22nd February 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #489 (Wednesday 30th August 2000) [5 jackpot winners]
