Comments:

The draw used ball set 4 in the Vyvyan machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.35. One in every 52.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.92% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,248,746.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 13 wins totalling £212.
Main Lotto ticket sales fell to their second lowest level ever, possibly due to some players "defecting" to the brand new Lotto HotPicks game, which is based on the 6 main numbers drawn in the main Lotto game.
Interestingly, the ticket sales for the debut Lotto HotPicks game beat all but one of the Wednesday Extra ticket sales, which shows that although HotPicks isn't a good game, it's still better than the dreadful Extra game.
I matched nothing on my first main Lotto ticket and one number on my second main Lotto ticket, but if it had been a double rollover draw (where I buy four more tickets), my 6th ticket would have won £10. Before you ask, no, I won't be playing Lotto HotPicks thank you very much :-)
Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 6th January 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
