Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £33.26. One in every 63.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.58% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,095,369.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £120.
The 114th main and 133rd winning number appearances by the number 38 has stretched its leads at the top of the frequency tables to 5 and 9 respectively.
Ticket sales were the worst ever for a Saturday rollover draw. Meanwhile, HotPicks sales dropped to their lowest ever for a Saturday draw.
Over £15 billion in total prizes has now been awarded in the 728 main Lotto games to date.
I matched two numbers on my second ticket, but nothing on my other three tickets, so £4 went down the river without a paddle as usual.
Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 12th June 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
