The Thunderball lottery game introduced by the National Lottery in 1999 offers yet another twist on the already familiar lottery game, and of course more importantly, another chance to win a jackpot prize. Because the jackpot prize fund is much smaller than the Lotto prize fund, the jackpot prize is only £500,000, although the jackpot prize is guaranteed and comes with better odds than both the EuroMillions and Lotto games. For that reason, Thunderball has proved to be very popular.
The Thunderball draws take place every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with the Wednesday and Saturday draws conveniently being televised live alongside the Lotto draws.
Thunderball is very straightforward to play. From a selection of 39 numbers you need to select 5. Then from a selection of 14, you have to select a ‘Thunderball’.
There are 9 levels of prizes to be won with a Thunderball ticket:
Match 0+ Thunderball to win £3
Match 1+ Thunderball to win £5
Match 2+ Thunderball to win £10
Match 3 to win £10
Match 3+ Thunderball to win £20
Match 4 to win £100
Match 4+ Thunderball to win £250
Match 5 to win £5,000
Match 5+ Thunderball to win £500,000
The most convenient way to buy tickets for Thunderball is to open an account with the National Lottery and buy your tickets online. Not only is it easy, but you can set up a continuous ticket or tickets that mean you never have to miss a draw again. If you’re not sure which numbers to select, you can chose a lucky dip, or, if you like a little bit more control than that, why not let our Thunderball Number Generator choose the numbers for you. If you don’t like what it throws up, simply try again. The National Lottery will call off funds from your bank account monthly to pay for your tickets and thereafter everything is taken care off. You don’t even have to check your results because if you are lucky enough to win, the national Lottery will send you an email advising you and deposit your winnings straight into your account. With £millions worth of prizes going unclaimed each year, playing online is by far the best way to play the lottery.
