Thunderball Info

The Thunderball lottery game from the National Lottery offers yet another twist on the already familiar lottery game, and of course another opportunity to win a jackpot prize. Although the jackpot prize fund is much smaller than the Lotto, on average a respectable £250,000 is the maximum available to win, the thunder ball game offers much better odds of that all important win and so makes for a really good proposition. Conveniently the thunder ball draw is on a Saturday and a Wednesday and so it is possible to watch the BBC One online draw to gain the results for not only your Lotto but also your Thunderball numbers at the same time.

The game is very easy to participate in requiring the selection of 5 numbers between 1 and 34 and then one further Thunderball number chosen between 1 and 14. Prizes are won for matching a minimum of 1 main number and your Thunderball number to those drawn. By far the most practical way to purchase tickets is by visiting the National Lottery website, the site provides the opportunity to purchase tickets for all your preferred games online simply by opening and funding an account. Buying a ticket is very easy and once you have chosen your numbers or selected them automatically by the Lucky Dip option you will have the opportunity to buy up to 8 weeks of entries. If you are stumped for choice of numbers then make a quick visit to ‘Clucky’, this is without doubt the most fun way to generate those random Thunderball numbers. You enter a chicken coup and select your preferred hen to lay a lucky egg, the egg once chosen will fall on the floor and hatch into a little chick with you number on it, you continue with this process until you have all your numbers and the last number that your hen lays is your Thunderball.

The Thunderball game is ideal if you are keen to double your lottery excitement, giving you all the security of the very familiar National Lottery game, the convenience of purchasing tickets via the usual retail shops or at the National Lottery website and also providing access to thunder ball results either online or via the live BBC draw each Wednesday and Saturday. Don’t be chicken, let clucky choose your numbers so that your Thunderball lottery win can hatch!
