Comments:

• The draw used ball set T3 in the Excalibur 1 machine
• The average prize was £10.43. One in every 24.3 tickets won a prize (=4.11% of players).
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 4 wins totalling £25.
• Despite making its 12th appearance in this draw, the number 34 still lags one behind the rest of the pack at the basement of both the main and winning number frequency tables.
• The astonishing record-breaking ticket sales rises continued unabated - the outright record 7th consecutive week of increases has propelled sales to a level more than £500,000 higher than the first Thunderball draw of the year.
• Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 22nd August 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
