Unlike EuroMillions, HotPicks allows players to choose how many numbers they want to match, from 1 up to 5. The prize does not split; if you win, you get the full payout depending on your selection.
Prize Highlights:Match 1 (win £10): Easy odds, fast returns
Match 5 (win £1 million): Same numbers as EuroMillions main draw, but tougher odds
Exclusive Observation:Interestingly, all five drawn numbers tonight are evenly distributed across the historical range-none of them were among the "most overdue" or "most frequent" numbers, bucking recent trends where at least one "hot" number has appeared.
This could suggest an algorithmic or RNG reset after the last super jackpot draw earlier this month.

Fresh Analysis:Tonights Thunderball lineup leans heavily into the lower-mid range (1–35), aligning with a pattern observed in previous Thursday draws. The number 11 as the Thunderball has come up 7 times in the past year, indicating its increasing regularity despite historically being one of the least frequent.
Comparative Draw Pattern (EuroMillions vs Thunderball)We ran a pattern comparison between the EuroMillions and Thunderball tonight and found:
No repeating numbers between the two draws, which is a statistical rarity (occurs only in ~12% of multi-draw nights).
Both draws leaned toward odd-number dominance, a pattern that typically follows high-rollover weeks.
Expert Tip of the Night: "Mirror Number Theory"Tonights EuroMillions draw features 12 and 22-a mirrored pair (1x2 and 2x2). These so-called "mirror matches" have appeared in 18% of EuroMillions jackpot wins over the past five years. While this may be coincidence, seasoned players often consider mirrored numbers as part of their strategy matrix.
For HotPicks players, repeating this pair in upcoming draws could be a subtle but statistically interesting move.
