Comments:

The draw used ball set 2 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £13.45. One in every 29.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=3.34% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £11,506,581.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 24 wins totalling £258.

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.

The low main numbers in this draw (all months/dates i.e. <= 31) resulted in quite a few notable results in various tiers:

The second lowest 5+bonus individual prize of all time.
The lowest 4-match and 5-match individual prizes ever.
The smallest (won) jackpot, 5+bonus, 5-match and 4-match prize pools in history.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 5.30pm BST on Monday 26th July 2010 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #1472 (Saturday 30th January 2010) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #1470 (Saturday 23rd January 2010) [3 jackpot winners]
