Comments:

The draw used ball set 3 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £32.37. One in every 72.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.39% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,081,459.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 17 wins totalling £245.
HotPicks ticket sales were the lowest ever for a Saturday draw.
I matched nothing on either of my two tickets in this draw, so that's yet another blankety-blank on my scorecard.
Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 10th April 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #711 (Wednesday 16th October 2002) [No jackpot winners]
