Comments:

• The draw used ball set 8 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.48. One in every 47.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.09% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,829,505.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £90.
• The 45th appearance of the rarest winning number (the number 45) had left it only one adrift at the bottom of the winning number frequency table.
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and one number on my second to continue my depressing familiar sequence of non-wins.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 31st August 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #439 (Wednesday 8th March 2000) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #437 (Wednesday 1st March 2000) [6 jackpot winners]
