Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.49. One in every 54.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.84% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,042,775.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included no wins. This is the first time that's happened in almost a year.
• The 26th appearance of the winning number 18 has left the number 39 four adrift at the bottom of that frequency table.
• I matched nothing on either of my two tickets to predictably continue my losing streak.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 30th November 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #256 (Saturday 6th June 1998) [5 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #254 (Saturday 30th May 1998) [4 jackpot winners]
