Thunderball has changed and now is the best way of winning up to £500,000 on any £1 National Lottery game. All of the prize tiers, including the £500,000 top prize, consist of fixed prize amounts which are not determined by the number of winners or number of tickets sold for a specific draw.

They have also added a £3 prize tier has been added for matching just the Thunderball.

They have changed the way the game is played by extending the first number range from 1-34 to 1-39. This changes the odds for each prize level, but has improved the odds of winning a prize. There's also an extra draw on Fridays now.

This new-look game started on Sunday 9th May and the first draw took place on Wednesday 12th May. With the first Friday Thunderball draw taking place on Friday 14th May.
