Comments:
- The draw used ball set T2 in the Excalibur 1 machine
- The average prize was £ 9.67.
One in every 17.4 tickets won a prize (=5.74% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 2 wins totalling £15.
- The sixth appearance of the main number
12 has allowed it to join the
leaders (the numbers 32 and
3) at the top of the
main number frequency
table.
- The single appearance of the main number
34 now makes it the only
number to have failed to appear at least
twice as a main number.
- Seven numbers have now been drawn
6 times as a
winning number
since the Thunderball lottery began.
- The main number triple 01, 11, 12 has become
the fourth such triple to have
appeared
twice in the 24 lotteries to date.
- The four main numbers 8, 11, 12 and 13 were all on the
same (2nd)
row
of the playslip, which has never happened
before. It was also the first time that only
two playslip rows (1st and 2nd) were used by the
five main numbers (or, indeed, by the six
winning numbers).
- The number of 3-match
winners was the lowest
to date.
- The main number
range (12=13-1) and the
winning number range
(also 12) were the outright smallest ever.
- The main number sum (45) and the winning number
sum (50) were the outright lowest ever.
- Ticket sales were the second
lowest ever.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 18th May 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
