Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £33.19. One in every 73.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.36% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,357,168.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £170.
• The number 38 joined the number 25 at the top of the main number frequency table after its 51st such appearance.
• The first appearance of the main number 33 for 25 draws has left the number 21 as the current longest absentee (24 draws since it last appeared as either a main or winning number).
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, so I predictably started the New Year with a loss.
• £915,462 of unclaimed prizes (2.36% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 1st July 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #317 (Wednesday 6th January 1999) [2 jackpot winners]
