Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.06. One in every 60.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.64% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,410,594.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
• It's taken 357 draws for every winning number pair to appear, with 10, 26 being the final one to succumb during this draw.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and two numbers on my second, so my "treble" didn't win anything, unlike Manchester United tonight...
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 22nd November 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
