Comments:

• The draw used ball set T5 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £ 8.86. One in every 20.3 tickets won a prize (=4.91% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £35.
• The number 25 now has a lead of three at the top of the main number frequency table after its 22nd appeared as one of the five main balls.
• However, it's the number 9 that has taken over the outright lead of the winning number frequency table after its 23rd such appearance.
• This was the first time that four consecutive Thunderball draws had failed to produce any Thunderball jackpot winners.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 19th July 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
