Comments:
- The draw used ball set T2 in the Excalibur 3 machine
- The average prize was £ 7.39.
One in every 14.8 tickets won a prize (=6.74% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included one win of £5.
- The average prize
for this draw was the lowest ever.
- Remarkably, there are now eleven joint leaders of
the main number frequency
table - all of them
have appeared six times in the 28 Thunderball lotteries to date.
- The number 7 has now taken the outright lead
of the Thunderball frequency
table after its
fourth appearance as the Thunderball.
- Three ticket combinations
have now won 8 prizes to date.
- When sorted in ascending order, the lowest main number (23) was
the outright highest of any draw to date.
- This was the first time in any of the 444 main or Thunderball lottery draws so
far that five main numbers were in the same "colour group" (1-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39 or
40-49).
- Needless to say, this draw has the smallest main number
range (6=29-23) ever.
- This draw had the lowest number of 4-match and 3-match
winners ever.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 15th June 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
