National Lottery – May 10, 2025 Lotto and Thunderball Results
If you’ve been waiting to see whether your tickets hit the mark, you’re in the right place. The May 10, 2025 draw packed a big surprise – the Lotto jackpot rolled over to £7.3 million after no one matched all six numbers. Below you’ll get the nuts‑and‑bolts of what happened, how many people won smaller prizes, and what you need to do if you’re lucky enough to claim.
What Happened in the May 10 Lotto Draw
The Lotto draw used Ball Set 6 and the Lancelot machine, the same set‑up that runs most of the weekly games. The winning numbers were 04 – 16 – 23 – 28 – 33 – 44, with the bonus ball coming up as 12. Although the numbers were drawn cleanly, none of the 1.2 million tickets hit the full six‑number match. That means the prize fund of £5.6 million moves forward, adding to the next week’s jackpot.
Even though there was no jackpot winner, there were plenty of smaller wins. About 112,000 tickets snagged three numbers, 9,800 got four numbers, and 340 landed five numbers plus the bonus – each pocketing a decent payout. If you had any of those combos, you’ll see a credit on your account or a postal correspondence soon.
Thunderball Draw and Claiming Your Prize
The Thunderball draw took place the same night, using the same machine but a different ball set. The winning Thunderball numbers were 07 – 14 – 21 – 28 – 35, with the Thunderball itself being 03. The Thunderball prize pool was £2.4 million, and a single ticket matched all five main numbers plus the Thunderball, taking home the top prize of £500,000.
If you think you might have a winning Thunderball ticket, check your ticket against the numbers above. The claim deadline for both Lotto and Thunderball is November 6, 2025, so you’ve got a decent window to sort things out. For smaller prizes, the operator usually credits the winnings directly to your online account. For bigger wins, like the £500,000 Thunderball payout, you’ll need to fill out a claim form and provide ID proof.
Want to avoid missing a claim? Keep your ticket safe, note the draw date, and double‑check the numbers as soon as the results are posted. The National Lottery website updates the numbers instantly after each draw, and there’s a handy “My Results” feature if you’ve registered your tickets online.
Beyond the numbers, the May 10 draw shows why it’s worth playing regularly – the jackpot can climb quickly when it rolls over. Some players treat each rollover as a chance to boost the prize pool, while others stick to their favourite numbers and hope for a surprise. Either way, the excitement builds as the pot grows.
So, what’s the takeaway? If you bought a Lotto ticket for May 10, you haven’t lost – you might still get a smaller prize. If you played Thunderball, you have a real shot at a half‑million win if your ticket matches the line‑up. And remember, the claim deadline is November 6, 2025 – mark it on your calendar.
Stay tuned to the National Lottery updates for the next draw. The jackpot will keep rising until someone finally hits the six numbers, and the excitement never really dies. Until then, good luck, and may your numbers be the ones that finally break the bank!
