Comments:

The draw used ball set T8 in the Excalibur 7 machine

The average prize was £10.29.

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 51 wins totalling £455.

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.

Prizes won in this draw must be claimed within 180 days i.e. by 5.30pm BST on Thursday 15th October 2009.

Next Thunderball: #855 (Wednesday 22nd April 2009) [No jackpot winners]
Previous Thunderball: #853 (Wednesday 15th April 2009) [1 jackpot winner]
