Comments:

The draw used ball set 5 in the Galahad machine and the average main Lotto prize was £23.10. One in every 51.4 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.95% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £9,747,953.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 21 wins totalling £210.

The two most common main and winning numbers, 38 and 44, made their 117th and 113th main number appearances and their 136th and 127th winning number appearances respectively.

For the second week running, ticket sales dropped to their lowest ever level for a Saturday main draw.

I matched two numbers on my first ticket and nothing on my second, so no big payola for me tonight then.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 21st August 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #749 (Wednesday 26th February 2003) [No jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #747 (Wednesday 19th February 2003) [1 jackpot winner]
