Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.21. One in every 48.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.06% of players).
• This was the 12th Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £5,000,000.
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,152,017.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
• The main number 15 hasn't appeared for 65 consecutive draws, which has further extended its all-time absence record.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and none on my other three, so yet another Super Draw goes by without a win for me.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 19th January 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #166 (Saturday 26th July 1997) [3 jackpot winners]
