Comments:

The draw used ball set 4 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.73. One in every 54.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.84% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,037,655.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £103.
The 62nd appearance of the main number 25 has moved it to within three of that frequency table's leader (the number 38). Its 73th winning number appearance has also put it only one behind the same leader in the winning number frequency table.
The number 40 appeared for the first time in 27 draws, leaving just the number 35 as the longest main and winning number absentee (not appeared for 28 draws).
There have now been over 300 million prize winners in the 257 Saturday lotteries to date.
Over 1,000 tickets purchased have won at least £1 million in the 398 lotteries to date.
I matched nothing on my first two tickets and one number on each of my third and fourth tickets, so the big question now has to be: can I win before the end of the millennium ?
Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 13th April 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
