Comments:

• The draw used ball set T3 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £ 7.88. One in every 18.6 tickets won a prize (=5.38% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
• The 12th appearance of the number 25 has helped it to join the number 16 on 12 appearances each at the top of the main number frequency table.
• Every one of the 14 Thunderballs has now appeared at least 3 times in the 50 Thunderball draws to date.
• Ticket sales fell by their largest percentage and amount (£923,920) ever as things returned to "normal" after the previous week's £1m Thunderball ticket giveaway.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 16th November 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
