Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £17.56. One in every 58.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.71% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £2,629,490.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
• All ball colours have now appeared at least 200 times as one of the 7 balls drawn since the lottery began.
• The main number pair 09, 48 is now level with four other such pairs at the top of the frequency table with its 7th appearance.
• The main number triple 02, 09, 48 is now one of 12 such triples to have appeared 3 times in the history of the lottery.
• There are now three ticket combinations that have won 14 prizes in the lottery to date.
• It's been 22 Saturday draws since the jackpot was last unwon, which is an outright record.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket (with a third number one out), so that's 39 draws without a win. If it was a rollover or a Super Draw my fourth ticket would have won £10...
• £1,095,294 of unclaimed prizes (3.50% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 25th December 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
