Lottery Results Tonight: National Lottery publishes Thunderball 1, 23, 26, 29, 37 and 13

The latest lottery results tonight update from the National Lottery showed the Thunderball numbers for Wednesday, April 29, 2026 as 1, 23, 26, 29 and 37, with 13 as the Thunderball. The Lotto winning numbers and bonus ball were still marked TBC.

The Lotto draw carried a £2m jackpot, and players matching five main numbers and the bonus ball would have been £1m better off. Thunderball carried a £500,000 top prize, giving ticket-holders two different draws to check from the same night.

National Lottery draw details

Lotto tickets could be bought until 7.30pm on draw days, which fall on Saturday and Wednesday. That left Wednesday night’s draw as the relevant deadline for anyone trying to enter the £2m game before the numbers were published.

The published Thunderball line gives players the full set they need to check a ticket: 1, 23, 26, 29 and 37, plus Thunderball 13. The Lotto entry remained incomplete in the update, with both the main numbers and the bonus ball still marked TBC.

Thunderball and Lotto prizes

Thunderball is drawn every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, while Lotto is one of the National Lottery’s draw-day games on Wednesday and Saturday. The schedule means the two games can appear together on the same night, but the prize structures are different.

On Wednesday, Thunderball offered a £500,000 top prize. Lotto’s headline prize that night was £2m, and the matching-five-plus-bonus-ball payout was set at £1m.

Wednesday April 29 numbers

For players checking tickets, the crucial detail is simple: Thunderball numbers were available, and Lotto numbers were not yet listed in the source update. That leaves Thunderball holders with a full result to compare against, while Lotto players still need the final draw numbers before they can make a match.
