Comments:

• The draw used ball set T1 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £10.26. One in every 16.3 tickets won a prize (=6.12% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £40.
• The 17th main number appearance of the number 34 has moved it to joint bottom of the appropriate frequency table, a position it now shares with the number 7. It does, however, still sit alone at the basement of the winning number frequency table after its 17th such appearance, albeit only one behind the rest of the pack now.
• The 8th Thunderball appearance put in by the number 6 still leaves it two short of the rest.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 6th March 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
