Comments:

• The draw used ball set 6 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.78. One in every 46.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.16% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,601,693.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £90.
• The 47th winning number appearance of the number 39 has the left the number 19 two adrift at the basement of that frequency table.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second - an all too familiar story for me.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 14th September 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
