This page explores how often drawn numbers appear close together or in consecutive sequences. It helps us see whether number grouping occurs as expected in a random lottery environment.

Histogram of Number Clustering
The histogram of number clustering measures the typical spacing between consecutive numbers in lotto draws. Each bin represents a range of average gaps, showing whether numbers tend to cluster closely together or spread evenly across the draw. This histogram helps analysts detect patterns in number spacing, complementing other perspectives such as sums and ranges.
The histogram of average gaps between consecutive numbers in lotto draws reveals that the most frequent gap interval is 9-10 with 14 occurrences, suggesting a strong clustering in this interval. In contrast, the least frequent gap interval is 1-2 with 0 occurrences, showing it is rarely observed. This indicates a noticeable concentration of draws around certain gap intervals. Overall, the distribution shows clustering around specific gap intervals, indicating that draws tend to gravitate toward these values.
Format Changes in EuroMillions
Since its launch in 2004, EuroMillions has undergone several format changes aimed at enhancing and keeping the game competitive. These changes have adjusted the number pool over the years.
| Period | Format | Bonus Ball |
|---|---|---|
| February 2004 | 5 numbers out of 50 | 2 lucky stars out of 9 |
| May 10, 2011 | 5 numbers out of 50 | 2 lucky stars out of 11 |
| September 2016 | 5 numbers out of 50 | 2 lucky stars out of 12 |
The first major change occurred in 2011 when the Lucky Star pool increased from 9 to 11, making it more challenging to hit the jackpot. In 2016, the Lucky Stars increased again to 12.
How EuroMillions Format Changes Affect Your Number Strategy.
These format changes have a direct impact on statistical analysis. Mixing frequency data across different formats is not advisable because each version of the game has a different number pool and probability structure.
For example, a number that appeared frequently in the 2/9 lucky star format may have done so due to higher individual draw probability, but that same frequency can be misleading in the 2/11 and 2/12 formats.
Therefore, for meaningful analysis, it’s essential to treat each format as its own distinct dataset. Analyzing trends or frequencies should be restricted to results from within the same format period, especially if the goal is to inform number selection in the current game structure.
