Playing the Thunderball

There is a variety of UK lottery games and everyone has their own favourite, but one brilliant game is Thunderball. Although the prizes on Thunderball are much smaller than in the main lottery draw, the odds are much lower too, which means players stand a better chance of winning on the Thunderball than with any other lottery game. People who play the Thunderball usually play the game twice a week, which doubles their chances of winning any money. Although the top Thunderball jackpot in the UK is only a quarter of a million pounds, an increasing number of people recognise that a win of this amount is more achievable than the millions of pounds offered in the larger lottery draws. You can even play Thunderball online if you want to by visiting the National Lottery site and choosing your ticket there. In order to win the Thunderball players are asked to select five numbers between one and thirty four and one Thunderball from one to fourteen.

The Thunderball lottery draw takes place twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays where five numbers along with the Thunderball number are drawn. Anyone who matches the five numbers plus the additional Thunderball number wins the top prize of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds. There are other, smaller prizes that can also be won on the Thunderball through different number combination matches.
