Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.85. One in every 59.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.67% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £4,061,071.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 10 wins totalling £100.

The 77th main number appearance of the number 38 has given it an impressive lead of 4 at the top of the main number frequency table. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the same table, the 47th appearance of the main number 34 has left the numbers 13 and 20 adrift at the bottom by the same amount (4).

The number 38 also has a lead of four at the top of the winning number frequency table after appearing as one of the seven winning numbers for the 91st time.

The main number pair 38, 46 now has a lead of two at the top of the appropriate frequency table after its 17th such appearance. Even more impressively, it also now boasts a lead of four at the top of the winning number pair frequency table, having been drawn 24 times to date.

I matched two numbers on my first ticket and one number on my second, so I'm not shedding a tear that no-one won the jackpot tonight.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 15th February 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #487 (Wednesday 23rd August 2000) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #485 (Wednesday 16th August 2000) [1 jackpot winner]
