Comments:

The draw used ball set 7 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.56. One in every 39.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.56% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,854,885.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
The 68th appearance of the rarest main number (13) still left it two adrift at the basement of the main number frequency table. It's also still 5 away from the rest at the bottom of the winning number frequency table, despite registering its 79th appearance as one of the seven winning numbers.
This draw had the second lowest sum (68) of the 6 main numbers ever.
The main Lotto jackpot prize pool was the lowest for a Saturday draw where the jackpot was won. The 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools were also the lowest ever for a Saturday draw.
HotPicks sales were the lowest ever for a Saturday draw, although the low numbers managed to elevate the number of HotPicks Match 3 winners to an all-time high.
I matched one number on each of my two tickets, unsurprising considering I don't use just "date" (<=31) numbers.
Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 20th March 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #705 (Wednesday 25th September 2002) [1 jackpot winner]
