Winning Lotto and Thunderball numbers for Saturday, May 17, 2025

There is a £11.4m Must Be Won jackpot and there is £500,000 on Thunderball

It’s one of those rare and exciting National Lottery Lotto jackpots tonight (Saturday, May 17). It’s a Must Be Won jackpot with a top prize of £11.4m there for the taking.

If no players get all six main numbers, the prize pot rolls down to boost the winnings of other players of the game. It could mean extra money for those matching balls if the jackpot isn’t claimed.

If some lucky player does bag a £11.4m cash prize, it would be transformative for them and their nearest and dearest. Not just a chance to enjoy life’s luxuries, but every chance to have financial security for life.
