Comments:

The draw used ball set T4 in the Excalibur 3 machine

The average prize was £ 8.80. One in every 15.4 tickets won a prize (=6.51% of players).

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £30.

The number 25 has extended its lead to four at the top of the main number frequency table after its 23rd such appearance.

Less than 10,000 ticket combinations have failed to win a prize in the 89 draws to date.

This draw had the second lowest number 5-match winners ever.

The 5 main balls took the following time (in seconds) to come out tonight: 4.5, 39, 5, 4 and 39. Both times with the 39 seconds delay, the "pipe" that brings the balls up had to be retracted to be able to bring a ball up again. This is the first time there's been a major mishap with the Thunderball draw.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 16th August 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #90 (Saturday 24th February 2001) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Thunderball: #88 (Saturday 10th February 2001) [2 jackpot winners]
