Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Topaz machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.53. One in every 43.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.30% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,843,240.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 21 wins totalling £270.

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 3rd November 2008 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #1292 (Saturday 10th May 2008) [3 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #1290 (Saturday 3rd May 2008) [6 jackpot winners]
