The table below is courtesy of Camelot's phone line (0845 9100 000 *10).

The next table displays the draw order, revised frequencies and the last prior appearance of each of the 7 balls.

Comments:

• The draw used ball set 4 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £20.12. One in every 44.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.24% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,308,354.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £60. This was only the second time that a jackpot ticket has had 6 previous wins.
• The number 5 has extended its lead to two at the top of the main number frequency table by appearing for the 24th time. It has also opened a gap of three in the winning number frequency table with its 29th appearance as one of the 7 numbers drawn.
• The main number pair 05, 25 is now one of only seven such pairs to have appeared six or more times since the lottery began. Similarly, the winning number pair 05,25 has joined only four other pairs in having appeared seven or more times in the history of the lottery.
• The main number triple 04, 05, 25 has now appeared three times in all, a feat only managed by five other such triples to date.
• This was only the third time that the 6 main numbers had been 31 or less and the first time that all 7 winning numbers had been 25 or less.
• The sum (75) of the 6 main numbers was the second lowest to date, but the sum (87) of the 7 winning numbers was actually the lowest ever.
• The ticket combination 04,05,14,18,25,44 has become only the second one to have won 13 prizes since the lottery began.
• Ticket sales hit rock bottom again, dipping below £27m for the first time ever.
• Because of the poor ticket sales, the (won) jackpot, 5+bonus and total prize pools were the lowest ever seen and the 4-match prize pool was the second lowest to date.
• One match for me on my first ticket and none on my second sadly means another losing draw for me.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 8th September 1997 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
