Comments:

The draw used ball set 2 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £34.15. One in every 64.5 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.55% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £23,594,897.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 36 wins totalling £405.

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 GMT on Monday 2nd February 2015 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #1944 (Saturday 9th August 2014) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lotto: #1942 (Saturday 2nd August 2014) [3 jackpot winners]
