Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.19. One in every 44.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.23% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,231,013.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 10 wins totalling £100.
• The 60th appearance of the main number 21 has left the numbers 13 and 20 four adrift at the basement of the main number frequency table.
• Similarly, the winning number 19 has open the gap to seven to the rarest winning number (the number 13) after its 70th such appearance.
• I matched nothing on my first ticket and only one number on my second ticket, so my recent wins are now sadly receding into the distance...
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 18th April 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
