Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.59. One in every 57.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.76% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,222,073.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
• There are now less than 20,000 ticket combinations that have failed to win a prize in any of the 343 lotteries to date.
• The 15th appearance of the winning number pair 38, 46 has reduced the gap to the frequency table leaders (the pairs 01, 31 and 09, 27) to one.
• Ticket sales dipped below £28m, making them the lowest for over 18 months.
• I matched one number on both of my two tickets to continue the seemingly endless string of losses I've been suffering.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 4th October 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
