Comments:

• The draw used ball set 1 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £30.01. One in every 66.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.50% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,243,926.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £90.
• The 53rd appearance of the winning number 19 has left the rare winning number (the number 13) three adrift at the basement of the appropriate frequency table.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket, so I'm a victim of the "no luck syndrome" yet again.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 2nd April 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
