Could Studying EuroMillions Stats Land You a £122 Million Jackpot?

Tonight’s EuroMillions jackpot is certainly causing a stir right across the continent with a prize of £122 million up for grabs. There’s no escaping the fact that winning such a sizeable sum of money would prove life-changing, so which numbers should you pick to land this nine-figure reward?

While many players rely on blind luck to deliver them a lottery win, there are some entrants who prefer to study statistics in order to generate financial success. Monitoring the form of all 50 main numbers and 12 Lucky Stars may take some time, but the reward for correctly predicting the outcome of any EuroMillions draw, let alone one with a jackpot worth £122 million, is incredible.

As it stands, 50 is the main number that has appeared most often in EuroMillions draws. The digit has been drawn 122 times, narrowly ahead of 44, which sits on 121, and 19 on 118. While beginning your selection with these numbers might seem like the logical thing to do, remember that they are not guaranteed to pop out in every draw. In fact, the number 19 hasn’t been seen in 123 days, while 23, another ball that sits amongst the most frequently drawn, has been absent for 140 days.

You could instead opt to select a range of numbers that have appeared in EuroMillions draws the fewest amount of times, hoping they are due their spot in the limelight. The number 46 currently lags way behind its spherical counterparts, having been drawn just 75 times in over 13 years of gameplay, while 33 and 41 (85 appearances each) are also amongst the most regular no-shows. However, praying that good fortune will seek you out and offer you a warm embrace is not a sure fire solution either.

Perhaps including a popular pair of numbers in your selection could spell success. To date, 11 and 29 have been drawn together on 20 occasions, closely followed by 4 and 23, and 15 and 28 (both 19 times). Of course, you could even opt for a triple set of digits, with 10, 19 and 23 racking up five appearances. Naturally, triples are less common, but it could be worth keeping an eye on which numbers tend to stick together.

Things do get a little easier when it comes to selecting your Lucky Stars. With just 12 numbers to choose from, there is certainly a better chance of you picking one, or even both of the bonus balls in any given EuroMillions draw. However, trusting the statistics here may be misleading, as the numbers 11 and 12 were added to the game much later, with the latter not joining the EuroMillions party until September 2016.

Regardless of how closely you study these statistics, every EuroMillions draw occurs completely at random and there is no way of guaranteeing the outcome of any draw. That said, one thing is certain and that is that you must be in tonight's draw to stand a chance of winning. So, for your opportunity to add £122 million to your bank account, you can pick your numbers online or play through any authorised retailer in participating countries. Good luck!
