Comments:

The draw used ball set 6 in the Amethyst machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.87. One in every 39.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.51% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,985,646.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 11 wins totalling £131.

From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me. However, games with variable prize tiers such as the main Lotto can have their sales figures reverse-calculated to within a few pounds, which is what I have done.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 16th August 2004 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #852 (Saturday 21st February 2004) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #850 (Saturday 14th February 2004) [2 jackpot winners]
