About EuroJackpot Simulator
An educational tool designed to demystify lottery mathematics through realistic simulations and evidence-based analysis.
Why We Built This
Most lottery players make decisions based on myths rather than mathematics. They believe in "lucky numbers," avoid recently drawn combinations, or choose birthdays thinking it improves their chances.
We built this simulator to bridge the gap between lottery marketing and mathematical reality. Our mission is simple: help people understand what they're really buying when they purchase system tickets, and make informed decisions based on evidence rather than superstition.
This isn't about encouraging gambling—it's about promoting mathematical literacy and responsible understanding through hands-on exploration.
What Value It Provides
Understanding System Costs
See exactly how ticket count and system size affect both your costs and winning probabilities. No hidden surprises—just transparent mathematics.
Myth Debunking
Discover why "lucky numbers" perform the same as random selection over time. See the mathematical truth behind common lottery misconceptions.
Strategy Comparison
Compare different approaches: random selection, historical frequencies, favourite numbers, and even unpopular combinations that might reduce prize sharing.
Realistic Expectations
Learn about actual win rates and return on investment through large-scale simulations. Understand the difference between mathematical expectation and real-world variance.
How To Use It
Quick Start
Generate random tickets instantly to see immediate results. Perfect for first-time exploration.
Custom Configuration
Choose your own numbers, system sizes, or favourite combinations for personalised analysis.
Strategy Testing
Try different number selection methods and compare their long-term performance.
Large-Scale Analysis
Run hundreds or thousands of simulations to see statistical patterns emerge over time.
What You'll Learn
The Birthday Bias Reality
Many players choose numbers 1-31 based on birthdays, but this doesn't improve odds—it just increases the chance of sharing prizes. Our unpopular combination generator helps you understand this bias.
Why "Lucky Numbers" Aren't Lucky
Each number has exactly the same probability of being drawn, regardless of past results or cultural significance. Our simulations prove this through statistical evidence you can see for yourself.
System Size vs. Winning Probability
System tickets increase both your costs and winning chances, but not linearly. A 7+3 system costs 21x more than standard 5+2 but only covers 3x more combinations. Understanding this relationship helps you make informed decisions about whether the additional coverage justifies the exponential cost increase.
Mathematical Expectation vs. Reality
While mathematical expectation shows the average outcome, real-world variance means actual results can differ dramatically. Our Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate this critical concept.
Making Statistics Tangible
Instead of abstract "1 in 139 million" odds, see what happens when you run 1000 real simulations. Watch win distributions, calculate actual ROI, and observe how different strategies perform over time with real data you can explore.
