Tonight’s Lotto & Thunderball Draw Delivers Big Wins and Bigger Dreams
So, tonight’s National Lottery excitement has wrapped up, and once again, millions of people across the UK found themselves glued to their tickets, hoping that this would finally be the night everything changed. With a £3.8 million Lotto jackpot on the line and the Thunderball offering up to £500,000, the buzz around the December 6, 2025 draw was impossible to miss.
The Lotto numbers drawn tonight were 05, 07, 10, 17, 32, 42 , with the Bonus Ball: 40 . And the Thunderball results followed shortly after with 11, 30, 31, 36, 39 , and the Thunderball: 01 . As always, these numbers were announced under the watchful eye of an independent adjudicator, setting the tone for another night of nail-biting anticipation.

What made tonight especially exciting was the announcement that two lucky ticket-holders matched all six main Lotto numbers , meaning the £3.8 million jackpot has been shared. Each winner will take home a life-changing £1.9 million , just in time for the holidays. Another player matched five numbers plus the Bonus Ball and walked away with a massive £1 million . Even in Lotto HotPicks, one person managed to match all five numbers to land the top £350,000 prize.
Over in the Thunderball draw, no one landed the full £500,000 jackpot this time, but two players matched five main numbers to secure £5,000 each . Not the top prize, sure—but still a win that most people wouldn’t complain about.
Moments like these always bring back the history of the National Lottery, which first launched on November 19, 1994. Back then, seven winners shared a jackpot of around £5.8 million. In the decades since, more than 7,700 millionaires have been created, with massive wins ranging from luxury homes to entire private islands being purchased by stunned winners. Some people, like Gareth Bull—who famously won £41 million in 2020—used their fortune to completely rebuild their lives, quite literally in his case, replacing his bungalow with a mansion and swimming pool.
And while the odds—roughly 1 in 45 million for a jackpot—aren’t particularly friendly, those stories of accidental wins and unbelievable strokes of luck keep everyone dreaming. After all, as Sandra Devine once proved when she accidentally bought the wrong Scratchcard and won £300,000, sometimes luck finds you when you least expect it.
So, whether you matched every number or none at all tonight, the draw has once again delivered that familiar spark of hope. And with more chances to win coming up—Set for Life on Monday, EuroMillions on Tuesday—the dream stays alive. After all, as the saying goes, you’ve got to be in it to win it.
