Comments:

• The draw used ball set 14 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.32. One in every 56.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.78% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,870,812.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 15 wins totalling £150.
• The 53rd main number appearance of the number 20 has left it only one adrift of the rest of the pack in the appropriate frequency table.
• Over £3 billion of prizes have now been awarded in Wednesday draws to date.
• I matched nothing on either of my two tickets - about as much success as I had getting the full results from Camelot within an hour tonight (i.e. none).
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 28th January 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #586 (Saturday 4th August 2001) [7 jackpot winners]
