Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.07. One in every 56.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.78% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,333,085.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins.
• The winning number 30 was finally drawn tonight after an absence of 32 consecutive draws, which has handed over the current mantle of longest winning number absentee to the number 4 which has now failed to appear for 24 consecutive draws.
• The ticket sales were the lowest ever, possibly impacted by the Camelot directors' pay rises controversy.
• The jackpot prize was the lowest ever not to be won.
• The number of 5-match winners was the second lowest ever, whilst the number of 4-match winners was the third lowest since the lottery began.
• The total prize pool was the second lowest seen to date.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and none on my second, which continued my dismal losing streak naturally enough.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 1st December 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
