Thunderball Draw Days
Thunderball draws are held every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at around 8pm. Initially, the game featured just one weekly draw on Saturdays. However, over time, additional draws were introduced, with the Tuesday draw being the most recent addition, launched in early 2018 as part of a series of changes to the National Lottery.
Thunderball Facts
The Thunderball is drawn from a separate set of numbers, so the same number could appear as both a main ball and the Thunderball.
If you choose a Lucky Dip, a random set of numbers will be generated at the time of purchase and used for your entry.
