Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.34. One in every 66.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.50% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,729,389.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and none on my second, so even my imminent 4th annual lottery subscription didn't swing the odds in my favour.
• A 5+bonus prize of £164,720 won by a ticket bought in the Hampshire area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 10th August 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
