Comments:

The draw used ball set T8 in the Excalibur 1 machine

The average prize was £ 7.86.

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 16 wins totalling £125.

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.

Manual draw comments will be available here shortly.

Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 22nd January 2004 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #257 (Wednesday 30th July 2003) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Thunderball: #255 (Wednesday 23rd July 2003) [1 jackpot winner]
