Comments:
- The draw used ball set T3 in the Excalibur 1 machine
- The average prize was £ 9.28.
One in every 17.5 tickets won a prize (=5.70% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included one win of £10.
- Five numbers now share the lead of the
main number frequency
table
with six appearances each.
- The number 12 is now the
outright leader of the winning number frequency
table
after its 7th such appearance.
- The number 12 also finally turned up as
a Thunderball in this draw, meaning that all 14
Thunderball numbers have now been
drawn
at least once to date.
- Four main number pairs are tying at the top
of the appropriate frequency
table with three
appearances each.
- Five main number triples are now on two
appearances each.
- The five main numbers had the joint smallest
range (12=22-10) ever.
- Ticket sales for this
25th Thunderball draw were the lowest ever - hardly
a good note for its quarter-century...
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 25th May 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
