Comments:

The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £16.61. One in every 37.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.70% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,344,984.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.

Because of the low numbers, this draw had the highest number of 3-match and total winners of any normal Wednesday draw to date.

The 4-match prize was the joint lowest Wednesday 4-match prize ever and the joint second lowest 4-match prize of all time.

For draws where the jackpot was won, the jackpot prize for this draw was the second lowest since the lottery began.

The 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools were all the second lowest ever.

I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket, which really didn't surprise me at all (yes, I lost again).

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 2nd November 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #248 (Saturday 9th May 1998) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #246 (Saturday 2nd May 1998) [1 jackpot winner]
