Comments:

• The draw used ball set T8 in the Excalibur 3 machine
• The average prize was £ 6.05.
• The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 111 wins totalling £990.
• From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me.
• There doesn't appear to be an official YouTube video of this live draw (there's some unofficial videos, but they don't show the studio, draw machine or moving balls).
• Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 5.30pm GMT on Sunday 9th February 2025 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
