Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.91. One in every 48.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.05% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,291,117.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 10 wins totalling £166.
• The number 38 stretched its lead to two at the top of the main number frequency table after its 63rd such appearance. Its 71st winning number appearance also closed it to within one of that frequency table's leader (the number 25).
• I matched nothing on either of my two tickets - a 0-0 draw just like England against Poland today.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 6th March 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
