Comments:

The draw used ball set 14 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.22. One in every 75.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.33% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £4,396,701.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £157.

The main draw had the lowest number of 3-match, 4-match and total prize winners of any Saturday draw to date, which - thanks to the lack of a main Lotto jackpot winner - resulted in the lowest Saturday total prize pool ever.

The ticket 15 16 18 28 36 49 has become the first to win two 5+bonus prizes (the other one was only back in June this year !). Sure enough, some lucky soul, Mike McDermott, did indeed win those two 5+bonus prizes...

This draw had the lowest number of Match 3 HotPicks winners for a Saturday draw to date.

This was the first time that a HotPicks category (Match 4 in this case) had the same number of winners (24) in two consecutive draws.

I matched absolutely nothing on either of my two tickets, so I can't say I'm bitter about the lack of a jackpot winner :-)

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 3rd April 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #709 (Wednesday 9th October 2002) [5 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #707 (Wednesday 2nd October 2002) [1 jackpot winner]
