Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.77. One in every 57.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.74% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,787,766.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £70.
• I matched one number of each of my two tickets to continue what we've coming to know as my "inevitable losing streak".
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 12th April 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
