Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.79. One in every 52.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.89% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,178,376.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £208.
I matched two numbers on my first ticket and one number on my second ticket to continue my fruitless run of luck.
Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 21st July 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #740 (Saturday 25th January 2003) [3 jackpot winners]
