Comments:

• The draw used ball set 5 in the Vyvyan machine and the average main Lotto prize was £31.12. One in every 69.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.44% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,569,108.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.
• For the second consecutive Saturday, ticket sales were the worst ever for a Saturday draw. In fact, 4 of the 7 Saturday draws this year now occupy the four worst ever Saturday sales slots.
• Needless to say, the total prize pool was the lowest for a Saturday where the jackpot prize was won.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and two numbers on my second ticket, so I'm still winless in this millennium.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 16th August 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #539 (Wednesday 21st February 2001) [1 jackpot winner]
