Have EuroMillions Numbers Ever Been Drawn Twice?
A repeated combination is possible even in a fair lottery. This page checks the validated draw history, compares every pair of draws, and shows how often repeats arise in simulated histories.
Repeated main-number combinations
Among 1988 draws, 1 distinct main-number combination appeared more than once (1 additional repeat draw).
| Main numbers | Draw date |
|---|---|
| 4, 30, 31, 38, 42 | 2014-05-02, 2018-08-31 |
The most similar pair of draws
The two closest draws shared 5 of their five main numbers: 2014-05-02 and 2018-08-31.
The birthday paradox in lottery draws
There are 2,118,760 possible sets of five main numbers. Across 1988 independent draws, the expected number of matching draw-pairs is about 0.93; the probability of at least one repeated main-number set is about 60.6%. This birthday-paradox effect means a repeat can occur by chance and is not evidence of a pattern.
Monte Carlo simulation
In 10000 simulated histories of 1988 draws, 60.7% contained at least one repeated main-number set. Each simulated draw chose uniformly from all 2,118,760 valid main-number sets.
