Comments:

The draw used ball set 4 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.64. One in every 59.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.69% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,012,514.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £30.

The 16th appearance of the main number 39 has moved it up to join the number 15 at the basement of the main number frequency table.

The number 42 is now the joint third longest main number absentee, thanks to having failed to appear for 41 consecutive draws.

The main number triple 14, 16, 37 has now appeared three times since the lottery began, becoming one of only 22 such triples to have managed this.

I matched nothing and one number respectively on my two tickets, so no win as usual.

A 5+bonus prize of £118,233 won by a ticket bought in the Croydon Borough Council area expired and was added to the Good Causes fund.

£1,110,758 of unclaimed prizes (2.84% of the total prize pool of this week's Wednesday and Saturday draws) from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 30th April 1998 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #195 (Wednesday 5th November 1997) [4 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #193 (Wednesday 29th October 1997) [1 jackpot winner]
