Lotto and Thunderball Draws: Full Results for May 21, 2025
If you were crossing your fingers for a life-changing night, Wednesday, May 21, 2025, was packed with Lotto and Thunderball excitement. The National Lottery dug deep to deliver two fresh sets of winning numbers, and plenty of hopefuls watched closely to see if they'd be next in line for a big payday. Here’s the complete rundown on what went down during these high-stakes draws.
The Lotto game held its 3,069th draw using the Guinevere machine paired with Ball Set 8. Those distinctive bouncing balls landed on 05, 06, 16, 20, 30, and 36, with the Bonus Ball coming up as 02. The jackpot for this particular draw was an impressive £2,000,000, drawing thousands of entries from across the UK. Players now wait in anticipation as results are confirmed and tickets are checked to see if anyone managed to match all six numbers for that top prize—or if the pot will roll over for the next round.
The same night, excitement shifted to the Thunderball draw, number 3,699, which featured a tantalizing top prize of £500,000. The numbers to look out for were 06, 12, 20, 33, and 34, with the all-important Thunderball itself revealed as 04. Thunderball always adds one extra layer of suspense, since matching even a few numbers in the right combination can lead to some serious winnings.
Both the Lotto and Thunderball organizers ramped things up by tying the draws into the nationwide celebration of World Bicycle Day 2025. Bright banners and extra mentions kept the cause front and center, using the spotlight to promote outdoor activity and cycling as part of the National Lottery’s community support work. Beyond flashy prizes, it’s part of an ongoing effort to show the positive side of gaming and giving back.
Checking Results and Staying Smart with Play
As soon as the numbers drop, it becomes a digital scramble as players pull out phones or hop online to check tickets, hoping they spotted a winner among their lines. The National Lottery reminds everyone that checking is quick and easy using their official app or website. There’s no need to wait for the weekend paper or a late-night newsreel to see if you’ve hit the jackpot.
Though the dream of a big win will always draw a crowd, lottery officials want to keep things responsible. All players are encouraged to use available tools for managing their play—think spending limits, self-exclusion features, and reality checks to help keep the fun in the game without letting things go too far.
