Comments:

The draw used ball set 12 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £14.43. One in every 44.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.26% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,220,723.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £141.

The 69th main number appearance of the number 13 has moved it to within two of the rest of the pack at the basement of the appropriate frequency table. It is now also only four adrift at the bottom of the winning number frequency table after its 80th such appearance.

This draw had the second lowest sum of the 6 main numbers to date and also the outright narrowest main number range (14=16-2) ever.

When sorted in ascending order, the 6th main number (16) was the lowest such number ever in that position.

The average main Lotto prize was the second lowest of all time.

I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket (back to my losing ways, in other words), but at least the surprising lack of a jackpot winner [despite the near-record low numbers] was some food for comfort.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 27th March 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #707 (Wednesday 2nd October 2002) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lotto: #705 (Wednesday 25th September 2002) [1 jackpot winner]
