Comments:

The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.01. One in every 39.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.51% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,039,141.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.

The number 5 has now joined the number 44 at the top of the winning number frequency table by making its 34th such appearance since the lottery began.

The winning numbers 7 and 15 have now both failed to appear for 33 consecutive draws, which is the joint third longest such absence ever.

The main number triple 03, 05, 22 is now one of only 13 such triples to have appeared three times in the history of the lottery.

There are now four ticket combinations that have won 14 prizes to date.

There were record numbers of 5-match, 4-match, 3-match and total winners for a midweek draw.

The ticket sales (and hence the total prize pool) were the highest ever for a midweek draw.

I matched two numbers on my first ticket (and was one out on a third number), one on my second and none on my third or fourth tickets to continue the agony for another draw.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 5th January 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #162 (Saturday 12th July 1997) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #160 (Saturday 5th July 1997) [No jackpot winners]
