Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £29.33. One in every 65.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.53% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,489,966.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £215.

Main draw ticket sales dropped to their lowest level of all time, whilst HotPicks sales were the lowest ever for a Saturday draw.

I matched nothing on my first ticket and just one number on my second ticket, but if this had been a double rollover, I'd have won £10 on my fifth ticket.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 5th June 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #727 (Wednesday 11th December 2002) [No jackpot winners]
