Thunderball
Thunderball gives you your best chance to win £500K on a £1 National Lottery game — and you can play it four times a week. Just pick 5 main numbers from 1–39 and 1 Thunderball from 1–14, or go with a Lucky Dip® for a random selection, at only £1 per line. Draws take place every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, so there are plenty of chances to play. Best of all, if you win the top prize, it's all yours — you won't have to share it with anyone else. You can buy your tickets online any day, but to play in a draw, make sure you buy before 7.30pm on the draw day.
