EuroMillions was a 5/50 + 2/9 · Feb 2004 – May 2011 game then. Everything on this page reads the draw against those rules and the 358 draws before it — not against today’s pool.
This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 24 December 2010 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 42 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 25% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 36 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 358 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.
Frequency Explorer →Shares 3 of 5 numbers (36, 38, 42) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 27 March 2009 — its closest relative in 358 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 82% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (17 December 2010): 42 carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 8 repeated (42% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 181 — the 96th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. No two numbers side by side. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →38 had not appeared for 10 draws. A number waits about 10 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →A line like this is played about 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 19% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈63M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 plus Bonus Ball — 2,034 winners, 22% fewer than the 2.6k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
