Common Number Pairs strategy - Swiss Lotto benchmark & results
The Common Number Pairs strategy prioritizes number pairs that historically appeared together often. The historical analysis on this page evaluates 105 archived draws in the active window. The metrics on this page describe behaviour only within Swiss Lotto and do not predict future results.
What does the Common Number Pairs strategy do?
This strategy weights number pairs that historically appeared together often and compares the outcome with the exact random baseline inside the same lottery. It shows how the method behaved in the archive with 5,000 × 100 lines per draw in the selected run, without promising a future edge.
Who is this strategy for?
For players who like building tickets from recurring pair patterns. It is most useful as structured historical context without mixing the benchmark with extra user filters.
Important note
Past frequencies do not guarantee future results. LottoLab shows historical benchmark data, not a winning-number prediction. Raw deltas per 10,000 lines are most useful within the same lottery; for Swiss Lotto versus EuroMillions, relative uplift is the fairer cross-lottery view.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Common Number Pairs strategy mean for Swiss Lotto?
It prioritizes number pairs that historically appeared together often and creates structured picks for historical comparison.
Is the Common Number Pairs strategy better than random?
That depends on the active window. Inside Swiss Lotto, the key measures are prize hits per 10,000 lines and the difference against the exact random baseline shown above. For cross-lottery comparison, relative uplift is the fairer lens. This remains descriptive, not predictive.
Can I combine it with filters?
Yes in the generator. The benchmark on this page intentionally keeps the default strategy without additional user filters.
How often is the benchmark updated?
The currently published benchmark data was updated on 28 Apr 2026.
