Comments:
- The draw used ball set T1 in the Excalibur 1 machine
- The average prize was £ 8.13.
One in every 16.8 tickets won a prize (=5.95% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included one win of £5.
- The 7th appearance of the main numbers
16 and 17 allowed them to join
the numbers 20 and 22 at the top
of that frequency
table.
- The number 9 is now the outright leader of
the winning number frequency
table
after his 8th such appearance.
- The third appearance of the main number pair
09, 17 means that five such pairs now share the top of
that frequency
table.
- The main lottery's rollover Super Draw that took
place tonight seems
to have boosted Thunderball
ticket sales, which rose by the
highest percentage and amount (over £600,000) ever to end the
record run of nine consecutive weekly falls in the sales.
However, it's still over £400,000 down on the
week prior to the start of the slump.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 6th July 2000 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
