Comments:

• The draw used ball set 1 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.72. One in every 57.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.75% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,134,880.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
• There was a planned network break between 9.38pm GMT on Friday and 5.37pm GMT on Sunday, which prevented the live update or indeed any sort of update over that period. These pages should now be fully available again.
• The main number 29 has now failed to appear for 37 consecutive draws, which is the outright second longest absence in the history of the lottery.
• The winning number 29 is now joint third in the all-time absences chart, having now failed to turn up for 30 consecutive draws.
• The individual jackpot prize was the lowest such "millionaire" prize in the lottery to date.
• Only one match on each of my two tickets this week means I've now failed to win for exactly 3 months.
• £578,717 of unclaimed prizes (1.87% of the total prize pool) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 3rd July 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
