Comments:

The draw used ball set 2 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.87. One in every 46.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.15% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,727,785.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.

Both of the longest absentees, the numbers 4 and 14, turned up in this draw after a sequence of 33 consecutive draws without an appearance, which handed their mantles over to the main number 6 (not appeared for 31 draws) and the winning number 19 (not appeared for 19 draws).

Saturday ticket sales have now exceeded £15 billion since the lottery began.

I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second, so I said goodbye to another £2.

A 5+bonus prize of £68,441 won by a ticket bought in the Suffolk area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 11th November 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #355 (Wednesday 19th May 1999) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #353 (Wednesday 12th May 1999) [3 jackpot winners]
