Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £32.35. One in every 62.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.61% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £3,228,683.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 13 wins totalling £130. This is the outright largest number of prior prizes that a jackpot ticket has won to date.

This was only the third time that 3 of the 6 main numbers (04, 30, 37) had also appeared in the previous draw.

The number 25 has stretched its lead to two at the top of the main number frequency table after becoming the first main number to be drawn 50 times since the lottery began. Its 59 winning number appearances give it a lead of three in that table.

At the other end of the main number table, the number 37 has joined three other numbers at the basement on 28 main number appearances.

The main number triple 25, 37, 45 has become only the fifth such triple to appear four times since the lottery began.

I matched nothing on my first and fourth tickets and only one number on my second and third tickets, so I missed out on the fifth biggest won individual jackpot prize ever...

£1,129,980 of unclaimed prizes (2.77% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 27th May 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #307 (Wednesday 2nd December 1998) [4 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #305 (Wednesday 25th November 1998) [No jackpot winners]
