Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.18. One in every 47.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.12% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,831,339.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 13 wins totalling £130.
• The 83rd main number appearance of the number 23 has closed the gap on the frequency table leader (the number 38) to seven.
• At the other end of the same frequency table, the number 13 is now stranded on its own after the 52nd main number appearance of the number 20.
• I matched one number on each of my two tickets, which is indicative of my bad luck all this year.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 29th October 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
