Comments:

The draw used ball set T6 in the Excalibur 2 machine

The average prize was £12.20.

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 20 wins totalling £225.

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 BST on Thursday 19th August 2004 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #317 (Wednesday 25th February 2004) [2 jackpot winners]
