Distribution of gap lengths
A gap is the number of draws between two hits of the same number: 0 means the number came up in the very next draw. We count only gaps completed within the range, for all 50 numbers of Eurojackpot together. Random model: each number comes up in a draw with probability p = 0,100 (5 of 50), so the gap length follows a geometric distribution.
Average gap length (N = 50 draws)
9,1
model (1−p)/p: 9,0
Median and longest gap in the range
6 / 51
source: history, gaps completed within the range
Completed gaps in the range
250
each number adds one gap for every hit after the first
Gaps by bucket — history alongside the model
Observed = how many completed gaps had a length from the bucket. % model = the bucket's mass in the geometric distribution. The difference in percentage points describes a discrepancy, it is not a significance test.
| gap length | observed | % history | % model | difference (p.p.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 26 | 10,4% | 10,0% | +0,4 |
| 1 | 19 | 7,6% | 9,0% | −1,4 |
| 2 | 23 | 9,2% | 8,1% | +1,1 |
| 3 | 15 | 6,0% | 7,3% | −1,3 |
| 4–5 | 28 | 11,2% | 12,5% | −1,3 |
| 6–8 | 37 | 14,8% | 14,4% | +0,4 |
| 9–12 | 31 | 12,4% | 13,3% | −0,9 |
| 13–20 | 45 | 18,0% | 14,5% | +3,5 |
| 21+ | 26 | 10,4% | 10,9% | −0,5 |
How we calculate this
For each number we record how many draws passed between its consecutive hits and sum those gaps into one histogram. The model assumes independent draws: P(G = g) = p·(1−p)g, hence P(G ≥ g) = (1−p)g, and the expected gap length is (1−p)/p. The model share of a from–to bucket is (1−p)od − (1−p)to+1, and for the "21+" bucket — (1−p)21. The histogram merges observations of different numbers from the same draws, so they depend on one another — for that reason we show no p-value and no significance flags, only a descriptive difference. A gap still running at the time of computation does not enter the table, because we do not know its end.

What do these numbers show?
- In 50 draws 250 gaps were completed. The average gap length was 9,1 draws, and the geometric model gives 9,0 — a difference of 0,1 draws (a descriptive comparison, not a test result).
- The bucket that departed most from the model was “13–20”: 18,0% of completed gaps in history against 14,5% in the model, that is +3,5 pp. The gaps of different numbers counted together are not independent, so we give no test result here.
- The longest completed gap in this range ran for 51 draws, the median was 6 (N = 50, source: history).
These are historical data. Each draw is independent of previous draws, so these numbers do not tell us what will be drawn next.
How do I use this page?
- Choose a number of recent draws in the range selector.
- Compare the average gap length from history with the model value (1−p)/p.
- In the table, check in which buckets the share of gaps from history differed from the model.
- Read a difference in percentage points as a description, not a test — the gaps of different numbers depend on one another.
What this page does not do: it does not point to numbers to play and does not predict when a running gap will end.
