Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £29.47. One in every 56.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.77% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,807,985.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.
• The number 25 has joined the numbers 2 and 38 at the top of the main number frequency table after its 54th such appearance.
• The top two numbers in the winning number frequency table (25 and 28) both appeared in this draw making their 64th and 61st such appearances respectively.
• I matched one number on my first and third tickets, two numbers on my second ticket and nothing on my fourth ticket, so the first Saturday rollover draw this year did me no favours.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 16th September 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
