Comments:

• The draw used ball set 8 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.94. One in every 48.8 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 £8,429,858.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60.
• All 1,176 winning number pairs have now appeared in at least two draws each.
• This was the seventh consecutive draw where none of the seven winning numbers had appeared in the previous draw as winning numbers, which is an all-time record.
• I matched one number on each of my two tickets to complete another chapter in my very large book of lottery failures.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 26th October 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
