Comments:

The draw used ball set 3 in the Amethyst machine and the average main Lotto prize was £15.93. One in every 51.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.96% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a profit of £1,213,890.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 17 wins totalling £273.

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 5.30pm GMT on Monday 22nd November 2004 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #880 (Saturday 29th May 2004) [6 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #878 (Saturday 22nd May 2004) [No jackpot winners]
