Comments:

The draw used ball set 7 in the Amethyst machine and the average main Lotto prize was £18.07. One in every 60.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.64% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,969,909.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 10 wins totalling £157.

From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me. However, games with variable prize tiers such as the main Lotto can have their sales figures reverse-calculated to within a few pounds, which is what I have done.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 5.30pm BST on Monday 24th October 2005 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Lotto: #976 (Saturday 30th April 2005) [3 jackpot winners]
Previous Lotto: #974 (Saturday 23rd April 2005) [7 jackpot winners]
