The game costs just PS1 per line, and you can win up to PS500,000 by matching all five main numbers and the Thunderball number. The main numbers range from 1 to 39 and the Thunderball number is drawn from a separate set, which means that a single number can appear twice in a draw (once as a main number and once as the Thunderball).

Taxes
The prize money that is won in the Thunderball lottery is tax-free. However, there are certain things to keep in mind when you win a prize. First, you must know that no representative of the National Lottery or Thunderball will call you on the phone or contact you via e-mail and claim that you have won. This is a definite sign of a scam. In addition, if anyone claims that you owe taxes on your winnings, they are most likely trying to defraud you. You should always check the official prize results to verify your win. Then, you can collect your tax-free prize.
