Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.28. One in every 58.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.71% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,846,710.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.
• The 94th appearance of the winning number 25 has brought it to within six of the appropriate frequency table's leader (the number 38). With it also having its 17th appearance as a bonus number, it narrowed the gap to one to the most common bonus numbers (20 and 47).
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, so no post-Christmas luck for me.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 25th June 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
