Strategies For Tuesday’s £118 Million EuroMillions Draw

Last Updated: Monday 18th December 2017, 12:43

The EuroMillions jackpot stands at a colossal £118 million ahead of Tuesday’s draw after a run of 12 rollovers. It is the third largest prize of 2017 and if there is a UK winner they will become the country’s biggest winner of the year, but what strategies could be employed to try and land the jackpot?

Join A Syndicate

As the odds of winning EuroMillions improve with each line you enter, many players like to buy multiple tickets when the jackpot gets big. The issue here is one of cost, but if you join a syndicate you can increase your chances of winning without splashing too much cash. If you find a group of ten colleagues, friends or family members, for example, and enter ten lines, you are ten times more likely to win than if you just play once, but you are not spending any more money. You have to share any prizes, of course, but you can all enjoy the success together.

Pick Random Numbers

Each combination of numbers has an equal chance of being drawn, so you are no more or less likely to land the jackpot if you enter 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, with Lucky Stars 6 and 7, as any other selection. However, if you do choose numbers with an obvious pattern it is far more likely that you would have to share the prize with other players who have done the same thing. Many participants like to use significant dates to pick their lines, so it could also be a good idea to ensure that your random selection includes at least one number higher than 31. If your numbers do come up, you might just be able to keep the whole lot yourself rather than splitting it with other players.

Explore Statistics

While every EuroMillions number has the same chance of being drawn, the reality is that some numbers have been drawn far more frequently than others since the game was launched in 2004. The numbers 50, 19, 44, 37 and 4, with Lucky Stars 8 and 3, have been drawn the most, while the numbers 46, 33, 41, 47 and 32, with Lucky Stars 12 and 11, have been drawn the least. Check out the EuroMillions Statistics page to find lots more information, including the most overdue numbers, commonly drawn pairs and much more.

Don’t Miss Out

It would be the perfect time to win a decent sum of money with Christmas right around the corner, but the only way to have a chance is to take part. Choose numbers online now or visit an authorised retailer, and you could just be £118 million richer by the end of the week. Good luck!
