Comments:

• The draw used ball set 5 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.67. One in every 61.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.63% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,966,215.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £120.
• Less than 1,000 ticket combinations have failed to win any prize in the 496 lotteries to date.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket to continue my recent losing streak.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 22nd March 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
