Comments:

• The draw used ball set 1 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.06. One in every 40.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.49% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,894,659.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 9 wins totalling £813.
• The 51st appearance of the main number 13 has left the number 20 two adrift at the bottom of the main number frequency table. However, the number 13 still remains stuck at the foot of the winning number frequency table after its 58th such appearance (two behind the number 39).
• This draw had the lowest ever jackpot prize pool for any main lottery where the jackpot was won. It also had the lowest 5+bonus prize pool where the 5+bonus prize was won and the lowest ever 5-match and 4-match prize pools.
• I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, but I guess I picked a "good" (low-prize) draw to fail on.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 27th August 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
