Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.43. One in every 52.1 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.92% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,362,304.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £106.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and two on my second, so the weekend heatwave wasn't any help.
• £1,002,094 of unclaimed prizes (2.67% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 4th February 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #275 (Wednesday 12th August 1998) [3 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #273 (Wednesday 5th August 1998) [1 jackpot winner]
