Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.47. One in every 47.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.09% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,336,637.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 28 wins totalling £335.
• 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 week expired at 5.30pm GMT on Thursday 27th February 2014 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
