Comments:

The draw used ball set 5 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.64. One in every 63.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.57% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,638,487.
The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 10 wins totalling £100.
The number 38 stretched its lead to 5 (main) and 10 (winning) in the appropriate frequency tables after its 118th main and 137th winning number appearances respectively.
Although main draw ticket sales rose slightly, they were still the second lowest of all time.
I matched one number on each of my two tickets, but if it had been a double rollover, I'd have won £10 on my 5th ticket.
Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 25th August 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
