Winning Lotto numbers for tonight's £12.8m jackpot plus Thunderball latest

The winning Thunderball numbers for Wednesday night

After a long delay caused by a machine malfunction, the full Thunderball results have finally been unveiled.

Tonight’s winning numbers are: 25, 26, 35, 37, 38 and the Thunderball is 03.

Thunderball draw to resume 'shortly' after machine malfunctions

The final Thunderball for tonight's will be drawn "shortly" following the earlier malfunction in one of the machines, a spokesperson for Camelot has told the Mirror.

While the machine drawing the main numbers worked correctly, the second Thunderball machine did not draw a ball - and they confirmed that a new Thunderball machine will be used to draw this ball.

A Camelot spokesperson said: “The first five main Thunderball numbers were drawn successfully in tonight’s draw. However, when we switched over to the Thunderball machine to draw the Thunderball itself, the machine malfunctioned and no ball was drawn.

"We’ve therefore taken that machine out of rotation while we look into what went wrong with it, and are bringing in an alternative Thunderball machine to draw the final number and successfully complete the draw.

"As always, this entire process is being carried out in the presence of an independent adjudicator.”

Draw taken off-air as machine appears not to display ball

While we're still awaiting confirmation from Camelot as to what happened during tonight's Thunderball draw, it appeared from the live stream that the very final ball - the 'Thunderball' - did not display at the top of the machine as expected.

The draw was taken off-air shortly afterwards.

The live stream of the Thunderball draw has been halted due to a technical fault.

All the main numbers had been drawn on Wednesday night's draw shortly after 8.15pm - but a delay followed when they attempted to draw the Thunderball, before the live stream was abruptly taken off-air.

An on-screen message explained that the stream could not be shown due to a "technical fault".

National Lottery responds after teen loses out on £182m prize over missing £2.50 payment

The National Lottery has responded after a teenage student lost out on a £182m jackpot because of a failed payment.

Rachel Kennedy, who was studying business at Brighton University at the time, matched all seven EuroMillions numbers back in February 2021. Unfortunately for her and boyfriend Liam McCrohan, the payment hadn't been made for the ticket, because she didn't have enough cash in her bank account to pay the £2.50 charge.
