Comments:

• The draw used ball set 5 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.11. One in every 58.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.72% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,100,750.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
• The number 15 joined the number 39 at the basement of the main number frequency table by appearing as a main number for the 19th time.
• The unclaimed prizes for this draw were the second highest ever.
• I matched nothing on either of my two tickets, which is a fairly rare whitewash for me.
• A 5+bonus prize of £87,597 won by a ticket bought in the Lewisham area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• A 5+bonus prize of £87,597 won by a ticket bought in the Newry and Mourne area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• £2,601,954 of unclaimed prizes (6.50% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 10th September 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
