Thunderball stands out by offering fixed prizes, unaffected by the number of winners or rollover conditions. Here’s what to know:

Guaranteed jackpot: Every £500k winner receives the full amount-even if multiple winners exist.

Odds breakdown: 1 in ~8.06 million for the jackpot; 1 in 13 to win any prize.

Prize capping: Only triggered when total prize payouts exceed four times ticket sales. Extremely rare-e.g., Dec 2011 kept full payouts under cap.
