10th May 2010 10:05 AM

The UK National Lottery organisers are always changing things round, making draws better and improving the service for lottery players and this week it’s all eyes on the UK Thunderball as the new improved draw launches this week. There are many changes coming into play and they are sure to make this popular draw a hit with lottery players. Bigger jackpots, more prizes and bigger winners are sure to get even more players involved in this draw and the great news is, lottery tickets for the draw are still £1 each.

Tickets for the new UK Thunderball draw are now on sale, with the first draw under the new rules taking place on Wednesday evening. The lottery draw is one of the most popular in the UK and here’s what’s going to make it even more popular.

UK Thunderball(UK)

• Double Jackpot: The new Thunderball jackpot is now £500,000
• More draws: Thunderball Lottery draws now take place on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings
• More balls: Choose five balls from a pool of 39 and the Thunderball between 1 and 14
• New Prizes: Another tier added to the prizes, £3 for just matching the Thunderball

In fact the only thing that isn’t changing is the price, tickets for the brand new Thunderball are just £1 each and when you consider the jackpot is almost as high as some of the UK National Lottery winners have been walking away with lately it’s no surprise.

This is because the UK National Lottery jackpot is often shared, and that has led to many jackpot winners recently walking away with less than £1 million, with the Thunderball there is no shares, if two players scoop the jackpot, they win £500,000 each! Making the new Thunderball a good bet for World Lottery players
