Comments:

The draw used ball set 7 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £38.33. One in every 53.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.86% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,688,812.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.

The first appearance of the number 21 for 29 draws has handed the longest absentee mantle to the number 17 which has failed to appear for 24 draws.

This was the twelfth consecutive draw where none of the six main numbers had appeared in the previous draw as main numbers, which is an all-time record.

This was only the second ever Wednesday double rollover draw and was, as a consequence, only the second time that a Wednesday draw had sold more tickets than a Saturday draw.

I matched nothing on my first, second and sixth tickets and only one number on each of my third, fourth and fifth tickets, so it was a bad showing for me in this fifth double rollover.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 13th November 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #460 (Saturday 20th May 2000) [3 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #458 (Saturday 13th May 2000) [No jackpot winners]
