Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £16.74. One in every 54.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.83% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,090,643.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.
• The 91st appearance of the winning number 25 has left it only four behind that frequency table's leader (the number 38).
• I matched one number on each of my two tickets, so no Olympic luck rubbing off on me, that's for sure.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 26th March 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
