Comments:

The draw used ball set T4 in the Excalibur 3 machine

The average prize was £11.59. One in every 20.8 tickets won a prize (=4.81% of players).

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 8 wins totalling £50.

The 19th appearance of the winning number 15 has moved it off the basement of the winning number frequency table, leaving just the number 34 at the bottom.

The amazing all-time record run of absences of the main number 11 finally came to an end with this draw after a staggering 63 consecutive draws without being chosen.

This was the first Wednesday Thunderball draw to have a jackpot winner.

Ticket sales increased impressively tonight to obviously set a new Wednesday sales record.

Unclaimed prizes from this draw expired at 11.00pm BST on Monday 28th April 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #180 (Saturday 2nd November 2002) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Thunderball: #178 (Saturday 26th October 2002) [No jackpot winners]
