Most Drawn EuroMillions Numbers (Historical Ranking)

Analysis of EuroMillions number statistics over more than 20 years reveals the following ranking. Here is the top 25 hot numbers:

Interpretation

Number 44 dominates the ranking with 222 appearances, i.e. +14.5% above the theoretical average of 194. Three numbers in the top 5 are above 215 appearances, which remains a moderate gap after 22 years.

Cold EuroMillions Numbers: The Least Drawn

At the other end of the ranking, some numbers appear far less often. These are the cold number statistics:

22 is by far the coldest number, with only 152 appearances — a notable gap of -21.7% from the average. For a hot/cold trend analysis updated in April 2026, see our dedicated article on hot and cold EuroMillions numbers April 2026.

EuroMillions Star Statistics

The stars (1-12 grid) are crucial to aim for tier 1. Here are the EuroMillions star statistics as of 22 April 2026, across the 1,939 draws:

Hot Stars

1. ⭐ 3 — 384 appearances
2. ⭐ 2 — 383 appearances
3. ⭐ 8 — 368 appearances
4. ⭐ 9 — 357 appearances
5. ⭐ 6 — 349 appearances
6. ⭐ 5 — 344 appearances
7. ⭐ 7 — 344 appearances

Cold Stars

1. ⭐ 12 — 171 appearances (the coldest)
2. ⭐ 11 — 261 appearances
3. ⭐ 10 — 278 appearances
4. ⭐ 4 — 307 appearances
5. ⭐ 1 — 332 appearances

“

The gap between ⭐ 3 (384) and ⭐ 12 (171) is considerable. The star grid moved from 1-11 to 1-12 in September 2016, which largely explains the 12's massive lag.

Odd/Even Distribution Statistics

Analysis of the odd/even distribution across the 1,939 draws gives:

• 2 even / 3 odd: 34.8% (674 draws)
• 3 even / 2 odd: 30.9% (599 draws)
• 1 even / 4 odd: 14.7% (286 draws)
• 4 even / 1 odd: 14.7% (286 draws)
• 0 even / 5 odd: 2.6% (51 draws)
• 5 even / 0 odd: 2.2% (43 draws)

Strategic tip: nearly 66% of draws combine 2 or 3 even numbers. An "all even" or "all odd" grid represents less than 5% of historical draws.

Low / High Distribution Statistics (1-25 vs 26-50)

The split between the first and second half is just as revealing:

• 3 low / 2 high: 33.7% (654 draws)
• 2 low / 3 high: 33.0% (639 draws)
• 4 low / 1 high: 14.5% (282 draws)
• 1 low / 4 high: 14.4% (279 draws)
• 5 low / 0 high: 2.3% (45 draws)
• 0 low / 5 high: 2.1% (40 draws)

Tip: balancing 2-3 numbers in each half reproduces the most frequent configuration (nearly 67% of draws).

Total Sum of Drawn Numbers

The sum of the 5 numbers over the 1,939 historical draws:

• Minimum sum observed: 42
• Maximum sum observed: 222
• Average sum: 128
• Median: 129
• Most likely range: between 110 and 170 (64.9% of draws)
• Recommended range: between 100 and 180 (77.9% of draws)
• Extended range: between 95 and 185 (83.1% of draws)

A grid whose sum is below 80 or above 200 represents less than 10% of historical draws.

Current Gaps (Draw Gaps)

Gaps measure the number of draws since a number's last appearance. As of 22 April 2026, the biggest current gaps are:

3 is currently the longest-overdue number, with 58 draws without appearing. On the star side, ⭐ 11 is the most overdue with 21 draws of absence.

The longer a number is absent, the more some players believe it is "due" — that's the return-to-the-mean logic. Remember, however, that every draw is independent: the probability of appearance remains strictly the same at every draw.

How to Use EuroMillions Statistics?

Knowing the figures is one thing, using them intelligently is another. Here are 5 concrete uses of statistics:

1. Balance odd/even: aim for 2-3 even numbers in your grid
2. Balance low/high: 2-3 numbers in each half
3. Target sum: stay between 100 and 180
4. Avoid sequences: 1-2-3-4-5 or 10-20-30-40-50 are statistically rare
5. Mix hot + cold: for example 3 hot + 2 cold for diversification

“

Important: statistics do not change the probabilities of a given draw. They help avoid "over-shared" grids and structure your play.

Artificial Intelligence to Exploit Statistics

Manually analysing 1,939 draws, 50 numbers and 12 stars is impossible. That's where EuroMillions artificial intelligence comes in.

Our algorithm automatically combines:

• Historical frequencies
• Current gaps
• Optimal distributions (odd/even, low/high)
• The target sum
• Avoidance of over-popular combinations (dates, sequences)

In seconds, it generates grids that are statistically balanced according to 15+ mathematical criteria.

Conclusion: Statistics Do Not Guarantee a Win

These EuroMillions statistics 2026 offer a complete view of Europe's most popular lottery. They help understand trends, structure your grids and avoid classic pitfalls (birth dates, sequences, overly symmetric grids).

Fundamental reminder: EuroMillions remains a game of chance. No statistic guarantees a win. The game must remain entertainment, never a financial strategy.
