Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.60. One in every 54.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.83% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,194,607.

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

The number 25 has taken a lead of three in the main number frequency table after its 58th such appearance. Even more remarkably, it now has a lead of six in the equivalent winning number table with a total of 68 such appearances.

With the number 11 turning up as a main number for the first time in 28 draws, the numbers 4 and 14 are now joint longest current main and winning number absentees, thanks to their non-appearance for 27 draws.

Two main numbers, 3 and 46, have now both appeared in each of the last three consecutive draws. There has never been a situation before where two main numbers have achieved this feat simultaneously.

I matched one number on each of my two tickets, which would come as no shock to anyone following my dismal 6-month run of losses.

A 5+bonus prize of £98,667 won by a ticket bought in the Hereford and Worcester area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 21st October 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #349 (Wednesday 28th April 1999) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #347 (Wednesday 21st April 1999) [6 jackpot winners]
