Comments:

The draw used ball set 8 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £28.71. One in every 54.9 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.82% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £7,016,445.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £140.

The 98th winning number appearance of the number 25 has moved it to within eight of that frequency table's leader (the number 38).

Two ticket combinations have now won 30 prizes to date.

Camelot added £115,000 to the 4-match prize pool for this draw. This was the penalty meted out by the Lottery Commission because of a GTech software bug that had underpaid some 4-match winners a while ago. The additional amount is actually double what they underpaid and made the 4-match prize £2 higher than it would have been otherwise.

I matched one number on each of four of my tickets, so although I matched 4 numbers in total, I still missed out on that "unusual" 4-match prize...

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 25th October 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #559 (Wednesday 2nd May 2001) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #557 (Wednesday 25th April 2001) [No jackpot winners]
