Comments:

The draw used ball set 4 in the Arthur machine and the average main Lotto prize was £26.73. One in every 59.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.68% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,860,391.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £80.

The number 38 stretched its leads at the top of the main and winning number frequency tables to 5 and 10 after its 116th and 135th such appearances respectively.

Ball set 4 has become the first set to have been used 100 times since the lottery began.

I matched one number on my first ticket and nothing on my second ticket, so there's no oasis for me in the desert of losing draws.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 24th July 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #741 (Wednesday 29th January 2003) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #739 (Wednesday 22nd January 2003) [2 jackpot winners]
