Comments:

• The draw used ball set 7 in the Vyvyan machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.98. One in every 74.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.35% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,437,061.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 15 wins totalling £251.
• The 19th appearance of the number 33 as a bonus number has moved it to the joint top of bonus number frequency table, where it shares the peak with the number 20.
• This draw had the second lowest number of 5-match winners ever, as well as the third lowest number of 4-match, 3-match and total winners ever.
• I matched one number on each of my two tickets, so I can't hide my delight that no-one matched all six numbers in this draw :-)
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 4th February 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
