Comments:
- The draw used ball set T2 in the Excalibur 3 machine
- The average prize was £13.69.
One in every 25.6 tickets won a prize (=3.91% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £30.
- The 5th appearance of the number 34
has pulled it up level with the number 23 at
the basement of the
main and
winning number
frequency tables.
- The number 4 is now the outright most
common winning number
after its 19th such appearance.
- The number 1's 8th appearance as a Thunderball
has moved it into an outright lead at the top of that frequency
table.
- One ticket combination
has now won 15 prizes in the 71 Thunderball lotteries to date.
- This was the first time that the two "outer" numbers 1 and 34 had both
appeared in the 6 winning numbers of a Thunderball draw, which therefore
set an outright winning number
range (33)
record in the process.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 12th April 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
