Comments:

The draw used ball set T5 in the Excalibur 1 machine

The average prize was £ 9.04.

The prior history of the jackpot ticket included 21 wins totalling £170.

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 draw expired at 5.30pm BST on Monday 10th April 2006 and have been added to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

Next Thunderball: #488 (Saturday 15th October 2005) [2 jackpot winners]
Previous Thunderball: #486 (Saturday 8th October 2005) [3 jackpot winners]
