Thunderball Results: Saturday Heated Up for Lottery Players
Saturday, May 10, 2025, was another big night for National Lottery fans, as Thunderball results rolled in with plenty of drama—though the biggest prize of £500,000 stayed just out of reach. The winning numbers were Thunderball results of 3, 15, 26, 30, and 36, with the important Thunderball number being 1. While no one scooped the top jackpot, the draw was still a solid payday for many regular players.
This was Thunderball’s 3,693rd draw, carried out on Ball Set 5 using the Excalibur 4 machine. The familiar ritual saw hopefuls across the UK and Isle of Man glued to their tickets, eyes scanning for a big return on their two-pound bets.
