Comments:

• The draw used ball set T7 in the Excalibur 1 machine
• The average prize was £10.55. One in every 19.2 tickets won a prize (=5.21% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £50.
• The 23rd main number appearance of the number 7 has made it joint bottom of the appropriate frequency table, level with the number 34.
• The only ticket to have failed to have won a prize prior to this draw, 03 07 08 15 19 (13), finally matched three numbers (3, 7 and 15). This now means that all Thunderball ticket combinations have now won at least one prize in the 214 draws to date.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 28th August 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
