Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £29.72. One in every 66.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.51% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,620,883.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £160.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and two numbers of my second, which is probably the closest I've been to winning since last September (my last win).
• A 5+bonus prize of £92,233 won by a ticket bought in the Leeds area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 31st August 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
