Comments:

The draw used ball set 6 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £42.95. One in every 61.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.62% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £4,615,163.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £40.
There have been three Wednesday double rollovers to date and this one had the worst ticket sales of the three (more than £4m lower than the last Wednesday double rollover just over a year ago). However, it did at least show the second largest ever percentage sales increase between consecutive weekly draws (Wed-to-Wed or Sat-to-Sat).
This draw had the second highest average prize for a Wednesday draw to date.
I matched nothing on my first, fourth and fifth tickets, one number on my third ticket and two numbers on each of my second and sixth tickets, so buying six tickets on the sixth double rollover didn't even match six numbers across all the tickets...
Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 24th December 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
