Comments:

The draw used ball set T4 in the Excalibur 1 machine

The average prize was £ 8.16. One in every 17.1 tickets won a prize (=5.85% of players).

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £105.

The number 25 stretched its lead to six at the top of the main number frequency table after its 42nd such appearance.

Ticket sales, aided by the current Thunderball TV ad campaign starring Billy Connolly, have risen for 8 consecutive draws, which is an outright all-time record.

If you add last Wednesday's sales to this Saturday's sales, they actually exceed - by £48,131 - the previous highest ever weekly Thunderball sales (which were, in fact, from the very first week).

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm BST on Thursday 22nd May 2003 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
