Comments:

• The draw used ball set T1 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £ 9.82. One in every 21.2 tickets won a prize (=4.72% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 3 wins totalling £15.
• The 14th winning number appearance of the number 2 has made it the outright leader of that frequency table.
• Between approximately 9.00pm and 11.00pm on Saturday night, ITV teletext page 123 (sub-page 5) claimed that there was no jackpot winner and that there were 8 5-match winners for this Thunderball draw. This was incorrect (those were last week's results) and was eventually fixed by ITV.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 23rd November 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
