Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £25.70. One in every 57.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.75% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,807,532.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £90.
• The 59th appearance of the winning number 28 has moved it to within three of the leader of that frequency table (the number 25).
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, which makes it 43 draws since I last won.
• A 5+bonus prize of £89,843 won by a ticket bought in the Leicester area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.
• £1,059,134 of unclaimed prizes (2.80% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 15th July 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
