Comments:

The draw used ball set 5 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £16.69. One in every 54.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.83% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,804,568.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £140.
The 70th appearance of the rarest main number, 13, has moved it to within two of the rest of the pack at the bottom of the main number frequency table. It is also four behind the rest of the winning numbers after its 81st appearance as one of the seven drawn balls.
Two ticket combinations have now won 36 prizes in the 711 lottery draws to date.
I matched two numbers on my first ticket and one number of my second ticket, so the fact that the BBC couldn't be bothered to air the draws live on TV tonight didn't help me at all.
Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 14th April 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
