EuroMillion random numbers - are all numbers equal?

EuroMillions Number Generator

In a random game, play random!

The short answer is: They should be, but they are not. I hear you say: I knew it, the lottery companies (online or state lotteries) are tinkering with the ball machines or the random number generators they use for the draws – they are cheating the players. If you play with reasonable companies, i.e. licensed by a gambling authority, then I can assure you that their ball machines and their random number generators have undergone serious statistical testing to become certified. The companies are not cheating.

Are Lottery Draws Truly Random? Unveiling the Truth Behind the Machines

If the lottery companies are not cheating, then some players must be cheating themselves. Our brains are not very well equipped to deal with randomness. We like to remember things, to control things. But in randomness there is no need or advantage to remember anything and no possibility to control anything – it is random. This puzzles our brain and we tend to look for structures or patterns where there aren’t any. Let me give you an example: Most people would not play the number combination (1,2,3,4,5,6) or (1, 2, 11,12, 21,22); they look special to them. They are not at all special. They have the same probability to show up in a draw as any other combination.

Choosing Your Lottery Numbers: Why Random Selection is Your Best Bet

So, which combination should you play? Just any. But what is any? Chose a random number generator to fill in the numbers in your ticket (insert a link to our random number generator tool). If you don’t use a random number generator, you tend to apply – even subconsciously – clues, patterns, structures which we use in everyday life. This reduces the stress that randomness causes in our brain. Our brain likes order. If you are applying a clue, a pattern or a structure to fill your lottery ticket, then you are more likely to chose a number combination that other players have selected, as well. Since jackpots are shared among all winners this implies that you are more likely to share your winning – if you win at all. Consequently, it could cost you millions to play number combinations like:

  • Include the numbers of the date of the draw, e.g. if the date of the draw is 1.5.2024, then don’t include 1, 5, 20, 24.
  • Don’t include the numbers of the time of the draw, e.g. if the draw is held at 20:15, then don’t include 20 and 15.
  • Include the numbers of birth dates of famous or rich people.
  • Don’t use the numbers on the diagonals on the lottery slip Strangely enough, the diagonals are much more often played than the pattern of the first two rows.
