Comments:

The draw used ball set T5 in the Excalibur 3 machine

The average prize was £ 8.86. One in every 20.3 tickets won a prize (=4.91% of players).

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £35.

The number 25 now has a lead of three at the top of the main number frequency table after its 22nd appeared as one of the five main balls.

However, it's the number 9 that has taken over the outright lead of the winning number frequency table after its 23rd such appearance.

This was the first time that four consecutive Thunderball draws had failed to produce any Thunderball jackpot winners.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 19th July 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #86 (Saturday 27th January 2001) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Thunderball: #84 (Saturday 13th January 2001) [No jackpot winners]
