Thunderball
5 numbers from 1 to 39, plus 1 Thunderball from a separate 1–14 draw. Drawn Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 20:00 London time.
How Thunderball works
A line is 5 numbers from 1 to 39, plus 1 Thunderball from a separate 1–14 draw. To win the jackpot you need every one of them, which happens about 1 in 8,060,598 for a single entry. That figure comes from the matrix itself — the number of ways 5 balls can be chosen from 39 — and not from anywhere else.
Nothing about a previous draw changes the next one. The balls have no memory, the machine is checked before every draw, and a number that has not appeared for a year is exactly as likely as one that came up on Saturday.
