Comments:
- The draw used ball set 10 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.52.
One in every 58.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.72% of players).
- This was the 21st Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £5,000,001.
- If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,353,886.
- The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
This was only the third time that a jackpot ticket has had 6 previous wins.
- I matched nothing on my first and second tickets, two numbers on my
third ticket and one number on my fourth ticket as I predictably failed to
win during a Super Draw yet again.
- Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 30th March 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
