Comments:

The draw used ball set T4 in the Excalibur 1 machine

The average prize was £ 8.31. One in every 12.3 tickets won a prize (=8.12% of players).

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 7 wins totalling £65.

The main number 25 stretched its lead to five at the top of the main number frequency table after its 33rd such appearance.

The 14th appearance of the number 7 as a Thunderball has moved it to within one of the Thunderball frequency leader (the number 4).

Six main number pairs have now appeared seven times in the 140 Thunderball lottery draws to date.

Ticket sales rose for a record-equalling fifth consecutive week and hit their highest level for 16 months.

This draw had the highest number of 3+Thunderball, 2+Thunderball and total prize winners ever, as well as the second highest ever number of 1+Thunderball winners.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 8th August 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
