Thunderball Winning Numbers for March 22, 2025: Jackpot Goes Unclaimed as Over 140,000 Win Prizes

Thunderball Results Draw No. 3,665: March 22, 2025

If you're hoping for a life-changing win, Saturday night’s Thunderball draw might have caught your eye. The latest draw, number 3,665, dished out comforting amounts to over 140,000 players, even though the glittering £500,000 jackpot held steady for another week. The numbers called were 05, 11, 16, 38, 39, with Thunderball number 06. While the top prize is what gets most hearts racing, it stayed put, since no ticket matched the precise combination needed for that half-a-million-pound payout.

The Thunderball is known for its fixed jackpot – land all five main numbers and the Thunderball, and you pocket a cool £500,000. But don’t think the rest of the prize ladder is just crumbs. On March 22, two lucky punters just missed the extra ball but hit all five main numbers, each scooping up £5,000. Right behind them, 22 players matched four numbers plus the Thunderball and walked away with £250 each. There were also 393 people whose four matched numbers earned them a solid £100 payday.

Thousands of Winners—and a Stubborn Jackpot

Here’s where it gets lively. While stories of big wins make the headlines, the Thunderball often quietly delivers thousands of smaller victories every draw. 1,093 players who matched three numbers plus the Thunderball saw £20 added to their pockets. The lower prize tiers saw volume: 12,342 players matched two numbers plus the Thunderball for £10 each. Even matching just the Thunderball itself, players could claim modest wins, which keep the excitement going. All told, 142,021 tickets were winners on this draw, bringing the total prize money spread across players to £788,949.

If you’re the sort who checks every bit of fine print, you’ll want to know that this draw used Ball Set 6 in the Excalibur 6 machine. Just in case you follow which sets are lucky, or have a favourite. And don’t forget—any wins from this draw need to be claimed by September 18, 2025. Miss the deadline and any prize, big or small, is gone for good.

The Thunderball offers two chances each week to snag a fixed jackpot, one of the few games in the lottery space that isn’t affected by rollovers or ticket sales. So, whether you’re playing for the big haul or just for the fun of the chase, the full tiered prize breakdown – and the thrill of seeing those numbers tumble out – keeps the game buzzing. If you didn’t win this time, there’s always the next draw. And if your ticket’s a winner? Don’t leave it forgotten at the bottom of your bag.
