The format
What one line looks like
Every line in Thunderball is the same shape, and every line carries the same odds.
Main numbers
5 from 39
Chosen without repeats. Order never matters — a line is a set, not a sequence.
Thunderball
1 from 14
Drawn from a separate pool, so a thunderball may repeat a main number.
Any match
1 in 6
The chance of a single line landing any of the 10 combinations below.

Odds are for a single line and do not improve by playing the same numbers repeatedly. These are match combinations, not a prize schedule: which of them carry a cash prize, and how much, is set by the operator’s published rules for each draw.

Draw schedule
Sales close a short safety margin before each draw, measured against an independently attested clock rather than your device.
How your ticket is protected
When you buy, your ticket is sealed with a sequence number, a timestamp from an independently attested clock, and the rules version in force at that moment — v5 today. You receive a signed receipt that can be verified without trusting us. Before sales close, a hash of the entire ticket set is published, so no ticket can be added, removed or altered after the fact.
