Comments:

• The draw used ball set T6 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £ 8.83. One in every 18.1 tickets won a prize (=5.51% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £45.
• Only 6 ticket combinations have now failed to win a prize in any of the 188 draws to date. All but one of those six would win if the main number 17 and Thunderball number 6 appeared together in a future draw.
• Seven Thunderball numbers have now appeared in two consecutive draws, with the latest to achieve this being the number 8.
• This was only the third 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 29th May 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
