Comments:

The draw used ball set 4 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.07. One in every 56.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.78% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,737,508.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.

Both of the rarest winning numbers, 19 and 20, made their 29th appearance to join the number 37 at the table basement.

The 32nd appearance of the number 19 brings it to within one of other numbers at the bottom of the winning number table.

I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second ticket, but if this was an (unlikely) double rollover, then I'd have won £10 on my fifth ticket.

A 5+bonus prize of £90,901 won by a ticket bought in the Salisbury area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 14th June 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #312 (Saturday 19th December 1998) [5 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #310 (Saturday 12th December 1998) [1 jackpot winner]
