Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £13.93. One in every 31.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=3.22% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £11,280,675.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 30 wins totalling £330.

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.

The last time the main Lotto had 8 or more jackpot winners was some 15 months ago and those Oct 2011 winners got a prize that was almost 80% larger!

The main Lotto jackpot prize was the 12th lowest of all time and the worst for over 2.5 years.

Even more woeful were the individual prizes for 5+bonus (£17,569 - 8th lowest ever), 5-match (£257 - 3rd lowest ever) and 4-match (£14 - 2nd lowest ever).

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 5.30pm BST on Thursday 11th July 2013 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #1781 (Wednesday 16th January 2013) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #1779 (Wednesday 9th January 2013) [1 jackpot winner]
