Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.95. One in every 46.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.15% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,547,723.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 24 wins totalling £291. This was the outright largest number of prior wins seen to date for a jackpot ticket.
• The 98th main number appearance of the number 44 has left it only ten behind the frequency table leader (the number 38).
• The 80th appearance of the winning number 19 has left the number 13 ten adrift at the bottom of the appropriate frequency table.
• Ticket sales were the worst ever for a Saturday draw. In fact, the four Saturdays in April 2002 now hold the four worst ever Saturday sales positions.
• I matched one number on each of my two lottery tickets, so, predictably enough, there was no respite from my losing run.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 24th October 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
