Comments:
- The draw used ball set T3 in the Excalibur 1 machine
- The average prize was £14.21.
One in every 14.6 tickets won a prize (=6.86% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 11 wins totalling £85.
- The number 25 stretched its lead to five
at the top of the main number frequency
table after its
32nd such appearance.
- One ticket combination
has now won 22 prizes in the 137 Thunderball lotteries to date.
- Four main number pairs have
now managed seven appearances each so far.
- This draw had the joint highest number of jackpot
winners in the history of the
Thunderball lottery, the outright highest number of 4+T/ball and
3+T/ball winners and the third highest number of 5-match and
2+T/ball winners. One suspects that a lot of people play "1"
as a main number and then pick "2" afterwards as a Thunderball,
which - along with other mostly low numbers - might explain these
peaks involving the Thunderball tiers.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 18th July 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
