Comments:

• The draw used ball set 1 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.11. One in every 49.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.03% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,107,241.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
• The bonus number 20 is now the outright leader of the bonus number frequency table after its 9th such appearance.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second ticket, so that £25m Christmas Super Draw can't come quickly enough :-)
• A 5+bonus prize of £111,906 won by a ticket bought in the Hillingdon area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 8th June 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
