Thunderball: Affordable Play, Big Rewards
Thunderball remains one of the most affordable National Lottery games, with tickets costing just £1 per play. Players choose five main numbers from 1 to 39 and one Thunderball from 1 to 14. The game offers multiple chances to win, and even matching the Thunderball alone guarantees a prize.
What sets Thunderball apart is its fixed prize structure — the jackpot always stands at £500,000 per winning ticket, with no rollovers. This makes it an attractive option for those who prefer steady odds and guaranteed payouts rather than massive, unpredictable jackpots.
Draws take place four times a week — every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday — providing frequent opportunities for players to try their luck.
A Night of Celebration
For Friday’s winner, this draw marks the start of an incredible new chapter. The £500,000 jackpot can offer a secure future, financial freedom, or the ability to pursue long-held dreams — whether that means paying off a mortgage, travelling the world, or investing for the future.
Camelot, the operator of the National Lottery, will contact the winner to guide them through the prize claim process. As always, players are encouraged to check their tickets carefully and claim any prizes within 180 days of the draw date.
Wider Impact of National Lottery Games
Beyond personal wins, every ticket sold helps fund good causes across the UK. A significant portion of National Lottery revenue supports community projects, heritage conservation, sports, and the arts, making each play a contribution toward improving lives and building stronger local communities.
Since its launch, the National Lottery has raised over £48 billion for good causes, helping to fund thousands of initiatives across the country.
Next Thunderball Draw
The excitement doesn’t stop here. The next Thunderball draw is scheduled for Saturday, October 11, 2025, with another £500,000 jackpot up for grabs. Whether you’re a regular player or a newcomer, it’s another chance to turn just £1 into a potentially life-changing reward.
