Comments:

• The draw used ball set 5 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.10. One in every 51.4 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 £9,747,953.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 21 wins totalling £210.
• The two most common main and winning numbers, 38 and 44, made their 117th and 113th main number appearances and their 136th and 127th winning number appearances respectively.
• For the second week running, ticket sales dropped to their lowest ever level for a Saturday main draw.
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and nothing on my second, so no big payola for me tonight then.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 21st August 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
