Comments:

• The draw used ball set T3 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £11.10. One in every 21.8 tickets won a prize (=4.59% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £50.
• The rarest main and winning number, 34, made its 22nd appearance today, but it is now joint bottom of the main number frequency table and adrift by four at the bottom of the winning number frequency table.
• This was the first time that a Wednesday Thunderball draw had less than four 5-match winners.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 11th August 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
