Thunderball Results: April 23, 2025 Draw Leaves Jackpot Unclaimed
If you grabbed a National Lottery Thunderball ticket for Wednesday, April 23, 2025, here’s what happened. The night’s winning numbers were 1, 8, 20, 22, 34, with 2 as the Thunderball. This was draw number 3,683—so the Thunderball is seriously no rookie at this point. Ball set 7 and the well-used Excalibur 6 machine took center stage, all under the sharp eye of an independent observer, as always.
Lightning didn’t strike for a jackpot this time. Not a single ticket matched the full five numbers plus the Thunderball, so the headline £500,000 top prize walked away untouched. It’s always a buzz to dream, but the big win was off the cards for this round.
