Comments:

• The draw used ball set 10 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.52. One in every 58.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.72% of players).
• This was the 21st Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £5,000,001.
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,353,886.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60. This was only the third time that a jackpot ticket has had 6 previous wins.
• I matched nothing on my first and second tickets, two numbers on my third ticket and one number on my fourth ticket as I predictably failed to win during a Super Draw yet again.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 30th March 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #186 (Saturday 4th October 1997) [4 jackpot winners]
