Comments:

The draw used ball set 5 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £39.63. One in every 74.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.34% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £2,432,693.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £90.
This was only the third time that 4 of the 7 winning numbers had appeared in the previous draw.
Ticket sales rose for an incredible seventh consecutive Saturday draw, breaking a record that had been held for almost four years. Ticket sales have actually risen for an astonishing 12 out of the last 13 draws.
I matched nothing on my first two tickets, one number on my third ticket and two numbers of my fourth ticket, resulting in another disappearance of £4 from my piggy bank.
Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 1st February 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #483 (Wednesday 9th August 2000) [1 jackpot winner]
