EuroJackpot Statistics

Since its launch in 2012, EuroJackpot has undergone a few format changes aimed at enhancing the game. These adjustments have expanded the number selection pool.

Originally, EuroJackpot required players to select 2 Euro Numbers from a pool of 1 to 8. In October 2014, this Euro Numbers pool expanded to 1 to 10, slightly lowering the odds of winning the jackpot but increasing prize potential. The most recent change came in March 2022 when the Euro Numbers pool grew again from 1 to 10 to 1 to 12, making jackpots harder to win but allowing them to grow larger.

How EuroJackpot 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 2/8 Euro number format may have done so due to higher individual draw probability, but that same frequency can be misleading in the 2/10 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.
