The Low-High Patterns Based On The Actual EuroMillions Results
Here’s another probability study using the low-high pattern.
We derive the low-high patterns using the following sets:
Low = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,…,25}
High = {26,27,28,29,30,…,50}
Again, the results of the study show that EuroMillions follows the dictate of probability.
The table and the graph above reinforces the fact that the EuroMillions game is subordinate to the principle of probability.
- 3-low-2-high is expected to appear 416 times – it occurred 468 times in the real draw.
- 4-low-1-high is projected to appear 190 times – it appeared in 216 times in the actual draw.
- 0-low-5-high is supposed to be drawn 32 times – it was drawn 22 times in the real draw.
As a EuroMillions player, you should pay attention to the composition of your combination and make sure that it follows either the 3-low-2-high or 2-low-3-high patterns. And never play the rest of the low-high patterns.
The Odds of Winning The EuroMillions
The National Lottery EuroMillions game is a 5/50 lottery format. So the rule is to pick five numbers from 1 to 50. We compute the total combinations by using the Binomial Coefficient formula.
So there are 2 million possible ways to combine five numbers in EuroMillions. However, to win the jackpot, you are required to match the extra two lucky stars so that the actual odds become one is to 139.8 million.
If you think about your odds, you have a better chance of becoming the next Prime Minister of the U.K. In short; it is tough to win in the EuroMillions.
In perspective, on the average, you have 139.8 million attempts to win the jackpot. If you play 100 tickets every week, then you have 1.4 million weeks or 27,000 years to hit the jackpot.
Twenty-seven thousand years is such a long time. You’ve got to be very lucky to win.
The EuroMillions lottery is a random game. You cannot predict the next winning numbers.
So, if superstitions, hot numbers, lucky numbers, quick pick, and a random selection will not help, what will?
Mathematics remains the only tool.
Lotterycodex Patterns and The Best Combinations In EuroMillions
Earlier, we discussed that any questions you ask about the lottery must be a combinatorial and probability problem to solve.
So to know the probability of 1-2-3-4-5, we ask the question “What is the probability of a combination composed of three-odds and two-even numbers?”
However, this is not the only question we can ask, we can also ask:
“What is the probability of a combination composed of five low numbers?”
The problem though, two different questions may provide different probability results.
When you deal with low-high and odd-even patterns as two separate probability analyses, you will encounter serious contradiction.
To illustrate the contradiction, 1-2-3-4-5 is one of the best combinations under odd-even patterns.
But then we know that under the analysis of the low-high patterns, such combination is one of the worst ones.
So combinatorial mathematics and probability theory can be very confusing if you are not careful.
So what is the solution?
The solution is Lotterycodex patterns
Using Lotterycodex patterns, we put these two analyses together into one combinatorial equation.
So now to solve the probability of the combination 1-2-3-4-5, we ask this question instead:
“What is the probability of a combination composed of three-low-odds and two-low-even numbers?”
That’s how Lotterycodex patterns can help you along the way. However, combinatorial calculation with probability analysis can be very complex so I created the Lotterycodex calculator to make everything much simpler and faster.
For simplicity, I have divided EuroMillions patterns into three groups.
| Best Group | Middle Group | Worst Group |
| Patterns #1, #2 | Patterns #3 to #28 | Patterns #29 to #56 |
| Two patterns | 26 patterns | 28 patterns |
As you notice, there are only two best patterns out of 56 patterns in EuroMillions 5/50 game.
For those of you who want to delve deeper into the nitty-gritty aspect of calculation, I don’t hide the formula. I discuss how these patterns are obtained in detail, so I invite you to check the free guide.
The table above is very straightforward. If you want to win the EuroMillions, then focus on patterns #1 and #2. And forget about the rest of the patterns.
The problem, almost 90% of the lotto players, do not know the worst combinations that will put their money down the drain. For example, many people pick their combinations that belong to the worst group.
There are millions of these worst combinations in EuroMillions. How do you know your combinations are not one of these worst types?

Predicting the Outcome of the EuroMillions Draw
You have to understand that probability theory is simply a reliable guide. Naturally, the expected frequency and the actual frequency will not always match exactly.
You use probability to predict the future outcome of the game to guide you on how to play your game.
For example, if we want to know in advance the outcome of EuroMillions after 2000 draws, we use the same formula for expected frequency:
If we are to predict the outcome of all the odd-even patterns, we will come up with the following prediction table below:
| Pattern | Probability | Estimated Occurrence in 2000 draws |
|---|---|---|
| 3-odd-2-even | 0.3256621797655230 | 651 times |
| 2-odd-3-even | 0.3256621797655230 | 651 times |
| 4-odd-1-even | 0.1492618323925310 | 299 times |
| 4-even-1-odd | 0.1492618323925310 | 299 times |
| All-odd | 0.0250759878419453 | 50 times |
| All-even | 0.0250759878419453 | 50 times |
As a smart EuroMillions player, you don’t want to waste your money on patterns with low probability. That is the power of probability calculation as we apply it in EuroMillions.
As a lotto player, you want to win the jackpot. Therefore, you should stick with either 3-odd-2-even or 2-odd-3-even and forget about the rest of the patterns.
You get the same idea when it comes to low-high patterns. You don’t want to pick a combination whose composition is purely low numbers or strictly high numbers.
However, EuroMillions is not only about low-high or odd-even patterns.
We discuss low-high and odd-even patterns to show that the lottery can be predicted to an extent. But the low-high and odd-even patterns don’t provide the whole picture of the EuroMillions game.
You must understand the EuroMillions game as a whole if you want to win the game. For you to achieve that, you have to understand intricate combinatorial patterns, which is the real key to EuroMillions’ success.
Let’s proceed to discuss what advanced patterns can do to level up your lotto playing strategy.
