Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.78. 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 £7,730,831.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £20.
• The number 38 is now the outright leader of the main number frequency table after its 62nd such appearance. It also closed the gap to two to the leader (the number 25) in the winning number table after being drawn for the 70th time as a winning number.
• There are now less than 10,000 ticket combinations that have to failed to win a single prize in any of the 381 draws to date.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and two numbers on my second, so another £2 goes slip-sliding away...
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 14th February 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
