Comments:

• The draw used ball set T5 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £ 8.69. One in every 17.8 tickets won a prize (=5.61% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included one win of £5.
• The latest appearance of the number 3 as a Thunderball meant that all 14 Thunderball numbers have been drawn at least 5 times to date.
• The main number pair appearance of 17, 21 now leaves five such pairs at the top of the appropriate frequency table on 6 appearances each.
• Yes, it was the 100th Thunderball draw, not that the TV show cared (they utterly failed to mention the fact).
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 1st November 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
