Comments:

• The draw used ball set T1 in the Excalibur 1 machine
• The average prize was £ 8.27. One in every 19.5 tickets won a prize (=5.12% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £50.
• The 11th appearance of the number 34 has still left it two adrift at the bottom of the main and winning frequency tables.
• Meanwhile, the number 4 has extended its lead to two at the top of the winning number frequency table after its 38th appearance as one of the six drawn balls.
• This was only the second time that four consecutive Thunderball draws had failed to produce any jackpot winners.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 20th June 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
