Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.97. One in every 64.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.54% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,262,067.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £97.
• This draw had the first winning number triple (28, 29, 30) for 47 draws, which is the outright longest gap between such triples ever.
• The number of 5-match winners was the third lowest of any draw to date.
• I experienced my 19th 3-match £10 win thanks to my second ticket (though my first ticket only matched a single number), making it only the second time I'd won in two consecutive draws.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 22nd January 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
