Comments:

• The draw used ball set 2 in the Vyvyan machine and the average main Lotto prize was £28.17. One in every 53.0 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.89% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £5,289,301.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.
• I matched one number on my first and third tickets and nothing on my second and fourth tickets, so that's another £4 that didn't net me a profit.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 27th September 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
