Comments:
- The draw used ball set T5 in the Excalibur 3 machine
- The average prize was £ 9.15.
One in every 23.9 tickets won a prize (=4.18% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £45.
- The number 1 appeared for the 9th
time as a Thunderball, giving it a lead of the two
at the top of the Thunderball frequency
table.
- One ticket combination
has won 16 prizes in the 73 Thunderball lotteries to date.
- This was the first time a quadruple
(08, 09, 10, 11) has been drawn
in a Thunderball lottery. If the Thunderball had been the number
7 instead, we'd have an astonishing winning number sextet...
- Because of the above quadruple, the main number
range (5=11-6) was the outright smallest ever and the sum of the five
main numbers (44) was also the outright lowest ever.
- The winning number range
(10=11-1) was the joint smallest ever and the sum of the winning
numbers (45) was the outright lowest ever.
- The jackpot-winning ticket had previously
won 7 prizes (a joint
record) totalling £45 (also a joint record).
- Ticket sales rose for an impressive -
and outright record - fifth consecutive week.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 26th April 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
