Comments:

The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.50. One in every 52.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.92% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,292,632.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.

The 30th appearance of the winning number 19 has left the number 39 two adrift at the bottom of that frequency table.

The first ever appearance of the winning number pair 01, 19 meant that only two such pairs, 10, 26 and 13, 49, have failed to be drawn in any of the 290 lotteries to date.

I matched one number on my fourth ticket, but nothing at all on my three other tickets, so this rollover did no favours for me.

A 5+bonus prize of £217,201 won by a ticket bought in the Lincolnshire area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.

£1,315,078 of unclaimed prizes (3.25% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 1st April 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #291 (Wednesday 7th October 1998) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #289 (Wednesday 30th September 1998) [No jackpot winners]
