• This draw had the lowest number of 3-match winners to date.
• Ticket sales rose for the second consecutive week, which hasn't happened before.
• Yes, it's taken exactly 10 draws to reach 10 jackpot winners in total, mainly because the ticket sales aren't much above the total number of Thunderball ticket combinations.
