Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.23. One in every 55.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.80% of players).
• This was the 16th 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 £8,079,301.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.
• I matched one, zero, two and zero numbers respectively on my four tickets, so I set a new all-time record of 54 consecutive draws where I failed to win.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 16th February 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
