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 3 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £21.83. One in every 48.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.06% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,072,518.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 32 wins totalling £832.
• 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.
• For the 5th consecutive draw, Camelot used the pre-draw jackpot prize pool estimate (£4,400,000 - albeit rounded up by £1 afterwards because of the 3 jackpot winners) as the post-draw "exact" jackpot prize pool. Here's the "correct" calculations if it wasn't such a Super Draw-style scenario:

  Ticket sales:      29,529,174.00    Estimated by forward-calculating 3-match to 5+bonus and
                                      adjusting ticket sales until they fit the formula
  Total prize pool:  13,288,128.30    45% of ticket sales rounded down to nearest 10p
  3-match pool:       5,724,920.00    3-match prize pool (10 * 3-match winners)
  Pools fund:         7,563,208.30    45% of sales - 3-match prize pool
  6-match pool:       3,932,868.32    52% of pools fund
  6-match prize:      1,310,956.00    3 6-match winners, prize = (int)(pool/3)
  5+bonus pool:       1,210,113.33    16% of pools fund
  5+bonus prize:        134,457.00    9 5+bonus winners, prize = (int)(pool/9)
  5-match pool:         756,320.83    10% of pools fund
  5-match prize:          1,174.00    644 5-match winners, prize = (int)(pool/644)
  4-match pool:       1,663,905.83    22% of pools fund
  4-match prize:             48.00    33,997 4-match winners, prize = (int)(pool/33997)
