EuroJackpot PyLab

Coding the lottery. Keeping it human.

The Concept

What EuroJackpotPyLab Tries to Do

The core idea is to treat the 5/50 space as a big grid of possibilities and to describe each combination with a long feature vector. Some features are obvious (sum, odd/even, small/large), some are more exotic (arithmetic complexity, HCFS labels, remaining triads, spacing-based scores). From there we keep only the lines that look statistically healthier than pure random, based on past draws.

The detailed methods and scripts live in Code the Jackpot. The site is the scoreboard: reduced pool + packs + a public logbook.

The Thin Web Around the Winning Line

Every EuroJackpot draw contains exactly 5 main numbers. Out of the entire 5-out-of-50 universe, that means only 1 out of 2,118,760 possible combinations is the actual winning line. That part everybody more or less feels intuitively.

What most players never think about is what happens around that winning line in combination space.

There are 225 different combinations that share exactly 4 numbers with the winning one. You pick 4 of the 5 winning numbers and 1 extra from the remaining 45: C(5,4) · C(45,1) = 5 · 45 = 225.

There are 9,900 different combinations that share exactly 3 numbers with the winning one. You pick 3 of the 5 winning numbers and 2 extras from the remaining 45: C(5,3) · C(45,2) = 10 · 990 = 9,900.

Together with the single perfect hit (all 5 correct), these “near-miss” combinations are scattered all over the huge 2,118,760-line space. They form a very thin, almost invisible web of “good” tickets.

The whole purpose of the filters in this book and the reduced combi set is exactly that: to carve out reduced spaces where this thin web is as concentrated as possible. We are not trying to guess the winning line directly; we are trying to build regions of the combination space where 5-hits, 4-hits, and 3-hits appear more often than they would in random play.

All the scripts, filters, and ideas you see in the chapters of the book are applied here in this site and are offered for free by the author. Nothing is asked in return — apart from maybe buying the book (please check the support page) and having some fun exploring the numbers.

Who gets the win?

If a combi from this site hits a prize, it belongs to the player who was served and chose to actually play it. EuroJackpotPyLab does not ask for your name, does not track accounts, and does not want proof. Privacy is not a slogan here — it’s the whole point.
