Comments:

The draw used ball set 14 in the Vyvyan machine and the average main Lotto prize was £16.50. One in every 53.7 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.86% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,523,790.

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

The main number 25 closed the gap to the frequency table leader (the number 38) to 12. It is also now 11 behind the same number at the top of the winning number frequency table after its 104th appearance as one of the seven drawn balls.

This draw had the third lowest ticket sales of all time.

Amusingly on Wednesday night, Camelot didn't know the exact jackpot amount that was rolled over (so I reverse-calculated it from the prize tier formula) and BBC/ITV teletext didn't have the exact figure either.

I matched absolutely nothing on either of my two tickets tonight, which was also the number of UEFA soccer games played this evening.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm GMT on Monday 11th March 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lottery: #598 (Saturday 15th September 2001) [4 jackpot winners]
Previous Lottery: #596 (Saturday 8th September 2001) [4 jackpot winners]
