What is Thunderball?Thunderball is one of the many lotteries that The National Lottery provides. Compared with the big games of EuroMillions or Lotto, this game is comparably cheaper and has good odds. A player has to choose five main numbers in the range from 1 to 39 and one number called a Thunderball, in the range from 1 to 14.
To win the jackpot, players have to match all five main numbers in addition to the Thunderball number. Of course, there are several other prize tiers too, which means that you might not win the jackpot, but still bag a substantial prize.
