Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £28.58. One in every 55.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.80% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,912,676.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
• The number 25 is now level with the number 44 at the top of the main number frequency table after appearing as such for the 42nd time.
• Remarkably, four numbers are now joint top of the winning number frequency table with 49 appearances each: 14, 25, 31 and 44.
• The sum of all the main six numbers drawn in the 264 lotteries to date is now exactly 40,000.
• This was the 34th consecutive Saturday draw where at least one ticket won the jackpot, which is an all-time record.
• I'm back to my losing ways with 0, 1, 1 and 2 matches on my four tickets.
• £1,122,161 of unclaimed prizes (2.76% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 31st December 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
