Comments:

The draw used ball set T8 in the Excalibur 2 machine

The average prize was £12.35.

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £90.

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 11.00pm BST on Monday 23rd August 2004 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #318 (Saturday 28th February 2004) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Thunderball: #316 (Saturday 21st February 2004) [3 jackpot winners]
