Comments:

• The draw used ball set T5 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £ 9.52. One in every 22.5 tickets won a prize (=4.44% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £65.
• Ticket sales continued to tumble for the sixth consecutive draw to their lowest level for over 2 years. This fall can be entirely attributed to the dilution effect of the recently introduced Lotto HotPicks, which has sent all other games' sales into a steady decline.
• This draw had the second lowest number of 4+Thunderball winners ever.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 23rd January 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
