Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.88. One in every 45.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.20% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,803,097.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
• The main number 5 appeared for the 34th time, which puts it only four behind the table leader, the number 44. It also closed the gap to 3 to the leader (44 again) in the winning number table by appearing as a winning number for the 41st time.
• The winning number pair 05, 43 has become only the second such pair to have appeared 10 times since the lottery began.
• Less than 300,000 ticket combinations have failed to win a prize in any of the 204 lotteries to date, whilst four ticket combinations have now won 16 prizes since the lottery began.
• I matched one number of each of my first, third and fourth tickets and nothing on my second ticket as another rollover passes me over.
• A 5+bonus prize of £102,601 won by a ticket bought in the Enfield area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• A 5+bonus prize of £102,601 won by a ticket bought in the Glasgow area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• £1,361,543 of unclaimed prizes (3.17% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 4th June 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
