UK Thunderball: Results and Winners
Festival of Excitement, Chichester
Karen and David Ainger are still reeling after learning their numbers had won the Thunderball draw. Karen explained how they enjoyed playing Thunderball because of the good odds, and small prizes they had won previously. Late one evening, when David had headed to bed, she remembered their tickets hadn’t been checked. Karen quickly checked the UK Thunderball results but had to check again, not believing her eyes.
An excited Karen called for David to check himself, before confirming that they had just won half a million pounds! The couple had to wait until the next day to claim, resulting in a restless night for Karen. With the winnings, they plan to use the funds wisely and enjoy the quiet life, paying back loans, investing, and saving for retirement. The Chichester couple celebrated the win at the Chichester Festival Theatre, and looks forward to going to many more shows!
Family Syndicate, County Durham
Walter Knowles and his children Gary, Christina, and Joanne formed a lottery Syndicate to play Lotto and Thunderball every week. Walter’s wife and mother to the children, Eva, had played with the family until passing early last year. However, the team continued to play in memory of Eva, playing her usual four Lucky Dip lines. Fortunately, their numbers came up and won them a £500,000 prize!
Christina shared how Walter had a dream they were going to win the night prior, and how she believes it is her mum looking down on them. When asked how they were going to spend the winnings from their lucky Thunderball results, she spoke of the relief that they will now be able to afford a new home for Walter and Joanne, his full-time carer. She described the experience as unbelievable and just wonderful.
Accidental Millionaire, Coventry
This has to be one of the best Thunderball draw results we have heard. A 65-year-old cleaner from Coventry won Thunderball’s top prize of £500,000 not once, but twice! Gayle and Philip Say have played the lotto for over 25 years, winning the occasional small prize. However, the Thunderball draw results were welcome news, especially after learning Gayle accidentally bought two tickets with the same winning numbers! She noted how it took her some time to confirm the UK Thunderball results and let it sink in. They had won £1,000,000! The couple celebrated the win with champagne and danced around the living room.
Gayle shared how she had promptly quit her cleaning job, excited at the prospect of sleeping in and finally having her weekends back – a lifestyle she hasn’t had for 28 years!
