Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.76. One in every 55.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.81% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,013,553.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.
• The sum (165) of the seven winning numbers was the same as the previous draw, which has only happened once before.
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and nothing on my second, so Scotland weren't the only ones to lose today :-(
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 7th December 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #258 (Saturday 13th June 1998) [6 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #256 (Saturday 6th June 1998) [5 jackpot winners]
