Comments:

The draw used ball set 10 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £ 5.12. One in every 8.6 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=11.61% of players).

If all 45,057,474 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £70,289,227.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 54 wins totalling £1,039.

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 BST on Thursday 26th August 2021 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
