Comments:

The draw used ball set 5 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £32.61. One in every 72.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.38% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,383,442.

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

The 95th appearance of the main number 38 has extended its lead to 11 at the top of the main number frequency table. It also has a lead of 10 at the top of the winning number frequency table after its 111th such appearance.

One ticket combination has now won 31 prizes in the 578 lotteries to date.

Ticket sales spectacularly crashed to their lowest level ever for a Saturday draw (which resulted in the lowest ever total prize pool for a Saturday draw where the jackpot was won of course).

This draw had the second lowest number of 4-match prize winners and the lowest number of 3-match and total prize winners for any Saturday draw in the history of the lottery.

Annoyingly, if this was a rollover or Super Draw, I'd have won £10 on my third ticket, but as it was, the two tickets I bought for this draw both drew a complete blank.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 3rd January 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #579 (Wednesday 11th July 2001) [No jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #577 (Wednesday 4th July 2001) [2 jackpot winners]
