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 6 in the Guinevere machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.19. One in every 84.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.18% of players).
• If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,277,072.
• The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 11 wins totalling £217.
• Beating a record that had stood for 5 years and 9 months, the sum (245) of the six main numbers was the outright highest ever.
• When sorted in ascending order, the first number (30) was the outright highest seen in that position since the lottery began.
• Thanks to the high numbers, the draw had the lowest number of 3-match and total winners ever, plus the second lowest number of 4-match winners. Unsurprisingly, the 3-match and total prize pools were also the lowest ever.
• Ticket sales were the worst ever for any main lottery draw, dipping below £25 million for only second time in history.
• I matched two numbers on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, so I was as successful as Manchester United were this evening...
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 15th October 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
