Consecutive Numbers strategy - EuroMillions benchmark & results

The Consecutive Numbers strategy prioritizes neighboring numbers such as 12-13 or 31-32 that appeared together. The historical analysis on this page evaluates 105 archived draws in the active window. The metrics on this page describe behaviour only within EuroMillions and do not predict future results.

What does the Consecutive Numbers strategy do?

This strategy weights neighboring numbers such as 12-13 or 31-32 that appeared together 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 want to include natural number runs. 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 Consecutive Numbers strategy mean for EuroMillions?

It prioritizes neighboring numbers such as 12-13 or 31-32 that appeared together and creates structured picks for historical comparison.

Is the Consecutive Numbers strategy better than random?

That depends on the active window. Inside EuroMillions, 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.
