Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.14. One in every 60.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.66% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,928,620.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
• The number 25 has closed the gap to five to the main number frequency table leader (the number 44) by making its 33rd appearance and to four in the winning number frequency table leader (44 again) with its 40th such appearance.
• The main number pair 04, 25 has now appeared eight times - a feat only previously managed by two other such pairs.
• Ticket sales fell for a record 5th consecutive Wednesday draw.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second, so, for the second week running, a normal Wednesday draw did me no favours.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 27th April 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
