Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.31. One in every 54.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.85% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,886,768.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
• This was the first normal Wednesday draw (i.e. not a Super Draw or rollover) for 20 weeks which is, unsurprisingly, a record length of time between normal Wednesday-only or Saturday-only draws.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second ticket, so this unusually normal Wednesday draw didn't do me any favours.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 20th April 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
