Comments:

The draw used ball set 14 in the Vyvyan machine and the average main Lotto prize was £31.15. One in every 69.3 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.44% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £6,968,418.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £120.

The number 38 has extended its lead for 8 at the top of the main number frequency table after its 91st such appearance. It also has a winning number frequency table lead of 9 thanks to its 107th such appearance.

The number 13 is now 5 adrift at the basement of the winning number frequency table after the 63rd appearance of the number 39.

Thanks to the £20m Extra Super Draw (which "forces" people to buy a main lottery ticket with each Extra ticket), ticket sales were the highest for a normal draw for almost a year.

I matched nothing on my first ticket, but finally managed my first win of the new millennium with my second ticket (it matched 3 and won me £10).

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 8th November 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #563 (Wednesday 16th May 2001) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #561 (Wednesday 9th May 2001) [2 jackpot winners]
