Comments:

• The draw used ball set 5 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £29.70. One in every 66.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.51% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,556,103.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.
• Ticket sales dipped to their lowest ever for a Saturday draw, although overall Saturday sales have now exceeded £20 billion.
• I matched one number on each of my two tickets to lose yet again and depressingly predictably.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 13th September 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #547 (Wednesday 21st March 2001) [4 jackpot winners]
