Comments:

The draw used ball set T4 in the Excalibur 1 machine

The average prize was £ 9.71.

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 14 wins totalling £90.

From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games, despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 15th January 2004 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #255 (Wednesday 23rd July 2003) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Thunderball: #253 (Wednesday 16th July 2003) [2 jackpot winners]
