Comments:

• The draw used ball set T2 in the Excalibur 1 machine
• The average prize was £ 8.74. One in every 25.2 tickets won a prize (=3.97% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 12 wins totalling £80.
• The 20th appearance of the main number 34 still leaves it one behind the rest at the bottom of the main number frequency table. It's also still three adrift from the pack at the basement of the winning number frequency table after its 20th such appearance.
• Three main number pairs have now appeared nine times to date.
• Yes, this was the 200th Thunderball draw and, unsurprisingly, the lottery TV show failed even bother mentioning this.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 10th July 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
