Comments:

• The draw used ball set 8 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.85. One in every 48.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.06% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,931,562.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £70.
• The main number triple 02, 21, 47 is only the sixth such triple to have appeared 4 times since the lottery began.
• The first appearance of the number 21 as either a main or bonus number for 25 draws means that the current longest absentee is the number 36, which hasn't been seen for 23 draws as a winning number.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and one number on my second ticket to continue the New Year with another loss.
• A 5+bonus prize of £98,146 won by a ticket bought in the Liverpool City area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 5th July 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
