About Lottery Analysis
Free statistical analysis tools for EuroMillions, Irish Lotto and Daily Million — built for Irish players who want more than a lucky dip.
What is Lottery Analysis?
Lottery Analysis is a free tool that processes thousands of historical draw results and scores your number selections against proven mathematical frameworks used by lottery researchers worldwide. Instead of picking numbers blindly, you get a data-driven perspective on how your combination compares to patterns observed across hundreds or thousands of past draws.
We cover three lotteries popular in Ireland — EuroMillions, Irish Lotto and Daily Million — and update draw data automatically after every draw.
The 9 analysis methods
Each method represents a different school of thought in lottery number analysis. You can select any combination of methods and we generate optimised number suggestions for each one.
Analyses the sum of your numbers. Around 70% of winning combinations fall within a specific range — too high or too low is statistically uncommon.
Tracks how draws split between odd and even numbers. Pure all-odd or all-even combinations have appeared in fewer than 5% of historical draws.
Classifies numbers as hot (drawn frequently in the last 50 draws), cold (rarely seen recently), or lukewarm. A mix of all three appears more often in winning draws.
Splits numbers into low half and high half of the range. Balanced combinations across both halves dominate historical results.
Numbers that haven't appeared for a long time relative to their average gap are considered 'due'. Mandel's approach favours including at least some overdue numbers.
Counts how often each number has appeared across all recorded draws. Popular in Asian and Eastern European lottery communities — favours the most historically frequent numbers.
Focuses purely on numbers that have appeared most in recent draws. Based on the theory that draw patterns can cluster over short windows.
The cold counterpart — focuses on numbers that haven't appeared in a long time. Based on the idea that all numbers eventually balance out.
Uses a Compound Dirichlet-Multinomial probability model — one of the more rigorous academic approaches to modelling lottery distributions. Generates combinations that fit the observed probability distribution most closely.
The honest truth
No formula, system or software can predict lottery numbers. Each draw is completely random and independent — the balls have no memory of what came before.
What these methods can do is help you avoid statistically uncommon patterns — combinations that almost never appear in real draws. Whether that gives you any practical advantage is debated. The honest answer is: probably not.

Where does the data come from?
Draw results are scraped automatically from official lottery sources after each draw and stored in our database. EuroMillions and Irish Lotto results are updated twice weekly; Daily Million results are updated daily.
The database currently holds hundreds of historical draws per lottery, going back several years. All analysis is computed in real time from this dataset.
FAQ
Is it free?
Yes, completely free. No account needed, no paywalls.
Which lotteries are supported?
EuroMillions, Irish Lotto and Daily Million. All three are available from the navigation menu.
How often is data updated?
Draw results are pulled automatically within hours of each official draw. The date of the most recent draw is shown at the top of each analyser page.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes — the site is fully responsive and works on all screen sizes.
Will this improve my chances of winning?
Almost certainly not in a mathematically meaningful way. But it's more interesting than a lucky dip.
