Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.72. One in every 59.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.69% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £2,523,128.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
• The number 44 continues to sail away from the opposition, extending its lead to 5 in the main number frequency table (36th appearance) and to 4 in the winning number frequency table (42nd appearance).
• The 200th white main ball appeared at last, meaning that all main ball colours have now turned up at least 200 times.
• Six ticket combinations have now won 15 prizes in the history of the lottery.
• Over 200 million prizes have now been awarded since the lottery began.
• I matched one number on each of my two tickets, which inevitably continued my losing sequence.
• A 5+bonus prize of £154,506 won by a ticket bought in the Sedgemoor District Council area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• £1,193,855 of unclaimed prizes (3.91% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 19th March 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
