Comments:

The draw used ball set 1 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £13.13. One in every 38.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.60% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,394,501.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 30 wins totalling £387.

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 week expired at 5.30pm GMT on Thursday 30th January 2014 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
