Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.93. One in every 51.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.96% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,576,212.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £140.
• The 86th appearance of the main number 38 has given it an impressive lead of 9 at the top of the main number frequency table. Its 101st winning number appearance gives it a lead of 7 in that frequency table too.
• Two ticket combinations have now won 29 prizes in the 524 lotteries to date.
• The main number triple 01, 07, 38 has become the first such triple to appear 6 times since the lottery began.
• Over £3 billion of Saturday jackpot prizes have now been won.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second ticket, to complete the millennium on a losing note.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 28th June 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
