Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.50. One in every 59.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.70% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,089,639.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
• The 24th appearance of the main number 15 has left the main number 39 three adrift at the bottom of that frequency table.
• The pair 01, 31 has now appeared 11 times as a main number pair and 13 times as a winning number pair, which are two more times than any other such pair in the respective frequency tables.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second - hopefully my luck will improve next week when the World Cup starts !
• £1,006,303 of unclaimed prizes (2.59% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 3rd December 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #257 (Wednesday 10th June 1998) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #255 (Wednesday 3rd June 1998) [1 jackpot winner]
