Comments:

• The draw used ball set 1 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.72. One in every 59.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.68% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,385,260.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
• The number 4 has now failed to appear for 42 consecutive draws as a winning number, which is the outright third longest ever such absence.
• Over £2 billion of jackpots have now been won on Saturday draws to date.
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and one on my second to continue my dismal current run.
• £1,011,133 of unclaimed prizes (2.66% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 8th April 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
