Comments:

• The draw used ball set 8 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £22.35. One in every 49.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.01% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,261,308.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £90.
• The number 2 has become the outright leader of the main number frequency table after its 53rd such appearance.
• At the other end of the same table, the 32nd appearance of the number 13 has left only four numbers (19, 20, 37 and 39) now tied on one less main number appearance at the basement.
• The sum of all the main numbers drawn in the 331 lotteries to date has now exceeded 50,000.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second as the first draw during my fifth annual subscription failed to bear fruit.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 23rd August 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
