Comments:

The draw used ball set T8 in the Excalibur 7 machine

The average prize was £11.69.

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 50 wins totalling £400.

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 GMT on Monday 26th October 2009.

Next Thunderball: #858 (Saturday 2nd May 2009) [1 jackpot winner]
Previous Thunderball: #856 (Saturday 25th April 2009) [1 jackpot winner]
