The Lottery Heatmap: Where the Crowd Clusters on the Ticket

Discover with our interactive heatmap which parts of the Eurojackpot ticket are chronically overcrowded and which fields the crowd ignores.

If you want the best possible payout ratio in Eurojackpot in the unlikely event that you win, you need to know where millions of other players are placing their marks so you can avoid those zones entirely.

We visualized historical data to show you which parts of the 50-number grid are most heavily played by the crowd.

Where does everyone else cluster?

This heatmap shows you at a glance which numbers in a given prize tier were historically more crowded. The redder a field is, the more competition is probably sitting there. The greener it is, the lonelier and more profitable it tends to be. For each prize tier, we calculated the average number of winners per number and translated that into the heatmap.

Some numbers practically glow with competition. Optimize your expected payout and move into the cool green zones instead. Or skip the whole thing: lottery play is a mathematical losing game. Test it in the Eurojackpot Simulator and watch how fast your money disappears.
