Comments:

The draw used ball set 3 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.60. One in every 58.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.70% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,826,162.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £172.
Ticket sales crashed to an all-time lowest level, not helped by the somewhat surprising decision of the BBC not to televise the lottery TV show (they aired a 9/11 documentary instead).
I matched two numbers on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, so the lack of television coverage didn't enhance my luck tonight.
Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 10th March 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
