Comments:

The draw used ball set 7 in the Amethyst machine and the average main Lotto prize was £30.83. One in every 68.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.46% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,841,459.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 22 wins totalling £376.

From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me. However, games with variable prize tiers such as the main Lotto can have their sales figures reverse-calculated to within a few pounds, which is what I have done.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 5.30pm BST on Monday 25th August 2008 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #1272 (Saturday 1st March 2008) [6 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #1270 (Saturday 23rd February 2008) [9 jackpot winners]
