Comments:

The draw used ball set 6 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.03. One in every 51.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.95% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,289,761.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 19 wins totalling £190.
Ticket sales for the main draw dropped to their third lowest level ever.
I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, so that's £2 that won't be multiplying its value any time soon.
Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 2nd June 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #726 (Saturday 7th December 2002) [1 jackpot winner]
