Comments:

The draw used ball set 6 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.66. One in every 63.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.57% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,326,723.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 17 wins totalling £170.
The 72nd main number appearance of the number 13 has still left it four adrift from the rest of the pack at the basement of the appropriate frequency table. Its 83rd winning number appearance also left it stranded seven away from the rest.
Two ticket combinations have now won 37 prizes in the 742 main lottery draws to date.
Ticket sales fell to their second lowest ever for a main Saturday draw.
I matched one number on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket, so that's another draw that passed without any joy for me.
Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 31st July 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #743 (Wednesday 5th February 2003) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lotto: #741 (Wednesday 29th January 2003) [2 jackpot winners]
