Comments:
- The draw used ball set T3 in the Excalibur 1 machine
- The average prize was £ 8.02.
One in every 15.2 tickets won a prize (=6.58% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included no wins.
- The number 8 is now the outright main number frequency
table
leader after having appeared in both the draws so far
(and hence, obviously, becoming the first number to appear in two
consecutive draws).
- Ticket sales dropped by a substantial percentage this
week (in fact, by a percentage size rarely seen in the main
UK lottery between two normal draws),
probably due the initial "excitement" wearing off.
With the Thunderball sales dropping by over 8%, the main
Saturday draw dropping by over 11% and the Wednesday
draw dropping by over 2%, we're right back to square one
w.r.t. overall ticket sales ! Thunderball has basically
cancelled itself out and may as well not exist.
- The number of 5-match winners and the 5-match prize pool
were the lower than last week's draw, but all other categories
had higher figures than the first draw.
- OK, let's not get silly about coincidences here, but
the number 7 (aka 007, licenced not to win a small jackpot)
was drawn as the Thunderball tonight (and the main UK
lottery's ball set was number 7 !), whilst the "other side"
(ITV) were showing the James Bond movie
Thunderball. Spooky or what ? :-)
- Yep, that's the frst two draws complete and not a single
Thunderball jackpot winner so far between the pair of them.
If this was the main UK lottery, then next Saturday would
have seen a double rollover jackpot, but, sorry, Thunderball rules
amazingly actually prohibit rollovers.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 16th December 1999 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
Next Thunderball: #3 (Saturday 26th June 1999) [1 jackpot winner]
