Comments:

The draw used ball set 12 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £42.78. One in every 64.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.54% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,135,114.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £192.
The 56th appearance of the number 20 means that it now shares the basement position in the main number frequency table with the number 13.
Less than 200 ticket combinations have failed to win a prize in any of the 607 lotteries to date.
This draw had the third largest average prize for a Wednesday draw ever.
I matched one number on my first ticket, nothing on my second and third tickets and two numbers on my fourth ticket (annoyingly, I had a "false alarm" about a possible win - I was looking at Saturday's results and not tonight's :-( ).
Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 15th April 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #608 (Saturday 20th October 2001) [6 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #606 (Saturday 13th October 2001) [No jackpot winners]
