Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Opal machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.96. One in every 65.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.54% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,793,908.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 22 wins totalling £296.
• From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me. However, games with variable prize tiers such as the main Lotto can have their sales figures reverse-calculated to within a few pounds, which is what I have done.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 5.30pm GMT on Monday 9th January 2006 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
