Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £32.20. One in every 71.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.40% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,016,130.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £134.
• The 75th main and 89th winning number appearance of the number 25 has closed the gap to the frequency tables' leader (the number 38) to four.
• Two numbers, 13 and 20, now share last place in the main number frequency table on 44 appearances each to date.
• Four ticket combinations have now won 27 prizes in the 493 lotteries so far.
• This draw had the third lowest total prize pool of any Wednesday draw to date.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my second, so let's hope for better things next Saturday in the Super Draw...
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 12th March 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
