Randomness of EuroMillions draws and lucky dip (2010)

We commissioned the Centre for the Study of Gambling at the University of Salford to conduct a detailed statistical study of EuroMillions draws. Using data from the first four years, the team tested for any elements of non-randomness within the EuroMillions game or Lucky Dip selections used by UK players.The main findings show that:

• The numbers drawn for the EuroMillions game did not show any evidence of bias;

• tickets bought in the UK are just as likely to win as those bought by players in any of the other countries; and

• there is no statistical bias for or against tickets sold in any particular country.
