Comments:

• The draw used ball set 14 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.17. One in every 49.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.03% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,625,140.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 11 wins totalling £207.
• The 113th appearance of the winning number 25 has moved it to within 13 of the frequency table leader (the number 38).
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second ticket, but the continuing wasteland of winnings this year was made worse by the realisation that my third ticket (which I only buy for rollovers or Super Draws) would have won £10 if I'd bought it for this draw.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 29th August 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
