Comments:

• The draw used ball set 5 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.51. One in every 67.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.48% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,338,909.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £161.
• The two rarest winning numbers (13 and 39) both appeared in this draw for the 55th and 57th times respectively.
• This draw had the second lowest total prize pool ever.
• I matched 2 numbers on my first ticket and nothing on my second, but it was annoying to realise that if this draw was a rollover (which would have prompted me to buy 2 additional tickets) rather than the next draw, my third ticket overall would have won £10.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 18th June 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #522 (Saturday 23rd December 2000) [5 jackpot winners]
