Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.94. One in every 44.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.25% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £11,010,937.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 24 wins totalling £240.
• From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me. However, games with variable prize tiers such as the main Lotto can have their sales figures reverse-calculated to within a few pounds, which is what I have done.
• I'm bored telling you folks that the pre-draw jackpot prize pool estimate (£2,400,000) is now incorrectly used by Camelot a guaranteed post-draw jackpot prize pool (i.e. effectively a Super Draw), so here's just the correct calculations (now generated by a program):

  Ticket sales:      16,217,528.00    Estimated by forward-calculating 3-match to 5+bonus and
                                      adjusting ticket sales until they fit the formula
  Total prize pool:   7,297,887.60    45% of ticket sales rounded down to nearest 10p
  3-match pool:       3,451,520.00    3-match prize pool (10 * 3-match winners)
  Pools fund:         3,846,367.60    45% of sales - 3-match prize pool
  6-match pool:       2,000,111.15    52% of pools fund
  6-match prize:      1,000,055.00    2 6-match winners, prize = (int)(pool/2)
  5+bonus pool:         615,418.82    16% of pools fund
  5+bonus prize:         68,379.00    9 5+bonus winners, prize = (int)(pool/9)
  5-match pool:         384,636.76    10% of pools fund
  5-match prize:          1,042.00    369 5-match winners, prize = (int)(pool/369)
  4-match pool:         846,200.87    22% of pools fund
  4-match prize:             42.00    19,809 4-match winners, prize = (int)(pool/19809)
  

• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 5.30pm GMT on Monday 28th November 2011 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
