The £500,000 does not carry forward
Thunderball is a fixed-prize game. If no ticket matches all five main numbers plus the Thunderball, the next scheduled draw still offers the standard £500,000 top prize.

Nothing rolls over. Thunderball’s standard top prize stays at £500,000 for the next draw rather than growing because the previous draw had no 5 + Thunderball winner.
Thunderball is a fixed-prize game. If no ticket matches all five main numbers plus the Thunderball, the next scheduled draw still offers the standard £500,000 top prize.
The National Lottery describes the Thunderball top prize as not shared. Under the normal prize structure, each qualifying top-prize winning ticket receives £500,000 rather than dividing one £500,000 pot.
Immediately after a draw there can be a short period where the numbers are known but the complete distribution of winning tickets and prize money is not yet available to MLL.
The five main numbers and Thunderball can appear first. At this point MLL can show the newest result, but it should not claim how many £500,000 winners there were until that winner count belongs to the same draw.
Once the winner breakdown for that same draw is present, the page can answer “did anyone win?” and populate all nine tiers, the total number of winning tickets, prize fund, draw machine and ball set where supplied.
