Comments:

• The draw used ball set 5 in the Pearl machine and the average prize was £6723316.00. One in every 554349.0 tickets won a prize (=0.00% of players).
• This was the 431st Super Draw and the jackpot pool was a guaranteed £1,000,000.
• 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 this one 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 27th June 2005 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
