The white balls are the same!
The two games are identical in the white ball format because they both require players to select 5 of 39 white balls.
Only the bonus balls portion of the games are different. Thunderball contains 14 Thunderballs, whereas Hot Lotto contains 19 Hot balls.
On the white ball side, there are 575,757 unique combinations in each game. To select the same winning number more than once seems nearly impossible, but drawing it on the same night in two different lottery games across the pond is a miracle.
