Comments:

• The draw used ball set T5 in the Excalibur 1 machine
• The average prize was £ 8.99.
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 24 wins totalling £375.
• From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me.
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 5.30pm GMT on Monday 20th February 2006 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
