Comments:
- The draw used ball set T6 in the Excalibur 3 machine
- The average prize was £10.87.
- The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 13 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.
- Manual draw comments will be available here shortly.
- Unclaimed prizes from this week expired at 11.00pm GMT on Thursday 12th February 2004 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
