Comments:
- The draw used ball set T5 in the Excalibur 3 machine
- The average prize was £ 8.69.
One in every 17.8 tickets won a prize (=5.61% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included one win of £5.
- The latest appearance of the number 3 as
a Thunderball meant that all 14 Thunderball numbers have
been
drawn
at least 5 times to date.
- The main number pair appearance of 17, 21
now leaves five such pairs at the top of the appropriate
frequency
table on 6 appearances each.
- Yes, it was the 100th Thunderball draw, not that the TV show
cared (they utterly failed to mention the fact).
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 1st November 2001 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
