Comments:

• The draw used ball set 1 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.86. One in every 55.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.81% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,686,668.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.
• This week's scratchcard sales were the third lowest of all time.
• A 5+bonus prize of £122,640 won by a ticket bought in the Leicester area remains unclaimed at the moment.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket to continue my 8-month long losing run.
• £1,292,554 of unclaimed prizes (2.85% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 26th November 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
