Comments:

• The draw used ball set T5 in the Excalibur 1 machine
• The average prize was £ 8.75. One in every 23.6 tickets won a prize (=4.24% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £50.
• The 35th appearance of the winning number 9 has closed the gap to the wining number frequency table leader (the number 4) to two.
• Thunderballs are supposed to turn up once every 14 draws on average, so the impressive all-time record 75-draw Thunderball absence of the number 14 can only be admired.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 30th May 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
