Comments:

The draw used ball set 6 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £36.18. One in every 54.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.84% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £4,129,082.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £90.

Yellow has become the first colour of ball to have been drawn over 600 times as one of the 6 main balls since the lottery began.

This draw had the second highest individual jackpot prize for a Wednesday draw, only missing out on being the highest ever (from just under 2 years ago) by less than £100,000.

Camelot incorrectly calculated the individual jackpot prize (their figure is £1 too high) - here's the calculations:

Ticket sales          38,617,369
Prize pool            17,377,816.00 (45% of sales rounded down to nearest 10p)
Minus 3-match pool    -6,724,680
Pools fund            10,653,136.00
Jackpot prize pool     5,539,630.72 (52% of pools fund)
Rollover              +8,312,898
Jackpot prize pool    13,852,528.72 (including rollover amount)
Round down (1 winner) 13,852,528

Unusually, this doesn't look like a case of being 99p rounded up like in previous cases where this has happened (72p has been rounded up).

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 8th January 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #476 (Saturday 15th July 2000) [4 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #474 (Saturday 8th July 2000) [No jackpot winners]
