Comments:

• The draw used ball set 3 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £27.76. One in every 61.7 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 £9,297,547.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 15 wins totalling £240.
• The 99th appearance of the main number 44 has moved it to within nine of the main number frequency table leader (the number 38).
• Less than 50 ticket combinations have failed to a prize in any of the 665 draws to date. There are also two ticket combinations which have won 34 prizes in total so far.
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and one number on my second ticket, but the most galling thing was that if this was a rollover draw, my third ticket would have won me £10.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 4th November 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
