Comments:

The draw used ball set T8 in the Excalibur 5 machine

The average prize was £ 9.63.

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 23 wins totalling £160.

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 5.30pm GMT on Thursday 16th March 2006 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #481 (Wednesday 21st September 2005) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Thunderball: #479 (Wednesday 14th September 2005) [No jackpot winners]
