Comments:

• The draw used ball set 12 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.66. One in every 54.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.82% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,449,532.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 10 wins totalling £175.
• Ticket sales dropped to their third lowest level ever.
• I matched one number on each of my two tickets, so the luck deserted me yet again on a Saturday.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 27th February 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
