Comments:

• The draw used ball set T4 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £ 8.80. One in every 15.4 tickets won a prize (=6.51% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £30.
• The number 25 has extended its lead to four at the top of the main number frequency table after its 23rd such appearance.
• Less than 10,000 ticket combinations have failed to win a prize in the 89 draws to date.
• This draw had the second lowest number 5-match winners ever.
• The 5 main balls took the following time (in seconds) to come out tonight: 4.5, 39, 5, 4 and 39. Both times with the 39 seconds delay, the "pipe" that brings the balls up had to be retracted to be able to bring a ball up again. This is the first time there's been a major mishap with the Thunderball draw.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 16th August 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
