Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.45. One in every 47.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.09% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,359,765.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £177.
This was the first time that the four lowest main numbers were drawn as the first four balls in strict ascending order.
I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, so no lottery Christmas present for me then.
Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Sunday 22nd June 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #732 (Saturday 28th December 2002) [2 jackpot winners]
