Comments:

The draw used ball set 4 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.47. One in every 52.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.91% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,067,652.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £150.

This has to be one of the freakiest draws on record, possibly because 3 of the 7 numbers from the previous draw also appeared in this one, which seems to have triggered off some bizarre results in the top two prize tiers:

The number of jackpot winners was the third highest ever.
The number of jackpot winners exceeded the number of 5+bonus winners for only the second time since the lottery began.
Even more astonishingly, the above two freak events combined to result in the unique sight of a 5+bonus prize that was higher (by £13,530 = 8.8%) than the jackpot prize !

Ticket sales crashed to their lowest level for over 4.5 years - since the third draw in fact.

It was Whitewash City for me as I failed to match a single number on either of my two tickets.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 23rd December 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #367 (Wednesday 30th June 1999) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #365 (Wednesday 23rd June 1999) [7 jackpot winners]
