Thunderball number generator

Thunderball is the National Lottery’s £1 game, drawn four times a week: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings. You choose five main numbers from 1 to 39 and one Thunderball from 1 to 14.

Every prize is a fixed amount. Five numbers plus the Thunderball win £500,000, and that prize is not shared: if two people match all six balls, both get £500,000. At the other end, the Thunderball alone pays £3, three times the price of the line.

Press Quick pick for five different numbers in order and a Thunderball in its own style, on up to 10 lines at once. The Thunderball comes from its own machine, so it can repeat one of your five numbers.

The one game where your numbers truly don’t matter

In most lotteries, picking unpopular numbers can at least reduce the risk of sharing a jackpot. Thunderball has no shared prizes, so even that small edge disappears: your birthday, a random line or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are worth exactly the same. A quick pick simply saves you the time.

With 8,060,598 possible lines, the top prize is much easier to reach than the Lotto jackpot, and about one line in 12 wins something. Most of those wins are the £3, £5 and £10 prizes near the bottom of the table.

Four draws a week add up. A line in every draw comes to about £17 a month.
Results are independent. A number that hasn’t appeared for weeks is no more likely tonight.

Players must be 18 or over. If you feel you are spending too much, set a limit in your account or talk to the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.
