Comments:

The draw used ball set 12 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £19.41. One in every 43.2 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.32% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £10,625,980.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 13 wins totalling £150.

The 53rd main number appearance of the number 13 has left the number 20 alone at the bottom of that frequency table. It also moved the number 13 to within six of the rest at the bottom of the winning number frequency table after its 60th such appearance.

Less than 300 ticket combinations have failed to win a prize in any of the 582 draws to date.

This draw had the second lowest individual 5-match prize of all time (and, unsurprisingly, the second highest number of 5-match winners ever). Perhaps the 4 multiples of nine (9, 18, 27 and 45) had something to do with this draw's high number of winners in the various tiers ?

Well, I only had one multiple of nine across my two tickets, which might explain why they dismally only managed to match one number each.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 17th January 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #583 (Wednesday 25th July 2001) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Lottery: #581 (Wednesday 18th July 2001) [1 jackpot winner]
