The Thunderball award will also find its owners tonight.

Players must choose five main numbers and one “Thunderball” number to stand a chance of winning the £500,000 grand prize.

Those who match the five main numbers will win £5,000, while those who match the four main numbers and the Thunderball will win £250. Around one in 13 people have a chance of winning £3 just by matching the Thunderball.

You must choose five main numbers from 1 to 39 and one Thunderball number from 1 to 14. You can choose your own numbers or opt for the “Lucky Dip” for a randomly generated selection.

Each score line costs £1.00 to play. Drawings are held four times a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

You win by matching your numbers with the drawn numbers. The more numbers you match, the bigger the reward. The grand prize is not shared among the winners; each receives the full amount.
