Fortune Thursday Lotto Results

Tonight's Fortune Thursday numbers, the Thursday draw time and a practical way to keep your own Thursday results database.

By , Editor, football tips, NLA lotto and bookmaker reviewsUpdated

Fortune Thursday results are added to the feed below after the NLA's Thursday evening draw, which currently runs at around 8:00 pm GMT on GTV. Fortune Thursday is a regular 5/90 game: five winning numbers from 1 to 90, with fixed odds for each ticket type. Many Thursday players like to track the numbers week by week, so this page also explains how to keep a simple, reliable Thursday results database of your own.

Results are published for information only. Always confirm a result with the National Lottery Authority or your licensed lotto agent before you claim. 18+.

Until tonight's draw is published, the first row shows last Thursday. Always compare the date on your ticket with the date in the feed. The NLA's own announcement is the official result; we copy it as quickly as we can.

Fortune Thursday draw time

The draw takes place every Thursday evening. Since 1 December 2025, NLA live draws air on GTV and the Monday to Saturday evening slot moved to around 8:00 pm GMT, from 7:15 pm before. If the result has not appeared by 9 pm, there may be a delay on the NLA side; check its official channels rather than trusting the first number you see on social media.

Last week's Thursday lotto results

The feed keeps several recent Thursdays, which covers most "last week Thursday lotto results" searches. For anything older, the NLA past results archive lets you pick the game and date. Remember that a Thursday also has a VAG morning draw; your Fortune Thursday ticket is only checked against the evening result.

Building your own Fortune Thursday database

A "Fortune Thursday results database" is just a list of past draws. You can keep one in a notebook or a phone spreadsheet in a few minutes a week. Done properly, it helps you check old tickets and satisfy curiosity about which numbers come up often. Here is a clean format:

ColumnWhat to recordWhy it matters
Draw dateThe Thursday of the drawMatches tickets to the right draw
Winning 1-5The five winning numbersThe only numbers that settle normal tickets
Machine 1-5The five machine numbers, kept separateAvoids mixing them up with winning numbers
SourceWhere you copied it fromLets you recheck if a digit looks wrong
Your ticketNumbers, bet type and stake you playedShows your real spending over time

Two tips make the log trustworthy. First, copy each result from the NLA or a second source, not from a single forwarded WhatsApp image. Second, keep the stake column honest. After a few months, most players find the most useful number in the sheet is their own total spend.

What your Thursday database will not do

A long list of Thursdays will show some numbers appearing more than others. That is normal randomness, not a trend. The draw machine has no memory, so a number's chance of being among the five tonight is 1 in 18 whatever your sheet says. Our lotto statistics page explains hot and cold numbers in more detail, and why "Fortune Thursday prediction" posts that promise certainty are a scam.

Thursday ticket types in brief

  • Direct: every number you choose must be among the five winning numbers.
  • Perm: you choose more numbers and the ticket splits them into many lines, each staked separately.
  • Banker: built around one number you want to see drawn.

The full explanation, including how many lines each Perm creates, is on the NLA lotto hub.

Claiming a Fortune Thursday win

  1. Check the game name, draw date and numbers on your ticket or receipt.
  2. Return to the agent or licensed channel you bought from for small wins; digital purchases are often settled to the MoMo wallet you paid with.
  3. For larger wins, contact the NLA and go to a Prize Payment Centre at the head office or a regional office with the original ticket and your Ghana Card.
  4. Expect the ticket to be validated before payment. Do not hand it to anyone who offers to "speed up" the claim for a fee.

Common Fortune Thursday checking errors

  • Comparing the ticket with Wednesday's Mid-Week or Friday's Bonanza result because the date was not checked.
  • Reading the machine row as the winning row.
  • Writing off a Perm because not every number came out, when several lines may still have won.
  • Trusting a single screenshot from a group chat without a second source.

A withholding tax on lottery winnings that applied from 2023 was abolished in April 2025. Rules can change again, so read the payout slip; our betting tax guide tracks updates.

Fortune Thursday is for players aged 18+. Keep it as a small weekly treat, not a plan for income.

Frequently asked questions

What time is Fortune Thursday drawn?

Around 8:00 pm GMT on Thursday evenings, live on GTV. The NLA moved its Monday to Saturday draws to this slot on 1 December 2025.

Where can I find last week's Thursday lotto results?

The feed on this page lists recent Thursday draws. For older dates, use the NLA past results archive and pick Fortune Thursday.

Is a Fortune Thursday results database useful for predictions?

It is useful for checking tickets and tracking your spending, but not for predicting. Each draw is random, so past frequency does not change future odds.

Is Fortune Thursday checked against the Thursday VAG draw?

No. VAG is the NLA morning game and has its own result. A Fortune Thursday ticket is settled only against the Thursday evening draw with the same date.

Should I record machine numbers in my Thursday log?

Yes, but in separate columns. Machine numbers do not settle normal tickets, and keeping them apart avoids false alarms.
