Comments:
- The draw used ball set T1 in the Excalibur 1 machine
- The average prize was £ 8.42.
One in every 22.7 tickets won a prize (=4.40% of players).
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 6 wins totalling £50.
- Ticket sales rose by almost
£1 million in this draw to their
second highest level ever (only beaten by the sales for the
first Thunderball draw). This is all
accounted for by a main draw promotion this week which gave
away £1 million of Thunderball tickets.
- This was the first time that the number of prize
winners
in a particular tier was an
exact multiple of 1,000 - in this case, it was the
72,000 winners of the 3-match prize.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 5th September 2002 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
