Comments:

The draw used ball set T6 in the Excalibur 3 machine

The average prize was £ 9.38. One in every 18.3 tickets won a prize (=5.46% of players).

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 5 wins totalling £50.

This first ever Wednesday Thunderball draw predictably ended up with the worst ever ticket sales to date - less than one third of last Saturday's sales in fact !

This draw had the outright lowest ever number of prize winners in all categories except 5-match and 5+Thunderball.

The two most common winning numbers, 4 and 9, turned up for the 51st and 45th times respectively.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 21st April 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #178 (Saturday 26th October 2002) [No jackpot winners]
Previous Thunderball: #176 (Saturday 19th October 2002) [No jackpot winners]
