Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £15.31. One in every 48.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.07% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,304,464.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
• The average prize was the third lowest ever.
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket to continue my hugely long losing streak.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 9th November 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
