EuroMillions players have been urged to avoid picking some numbers – and make sure they are prioritising others. Data from Betway shows the most common numbers to have appeared in the National Lottery Euromillions draws over the years.
The bookmaker shows the most common numbers are 4, 8 and 12, which have all been drawn 18 times each. The number 1 has come up 15 times, as has the number 7, while 9 and 10 have been drawn 14 times each, Betway has added.
The worst numbers to pick which come up the least number of times are: 43, which was drawn just once, 26, which came up just twice before, and the numbers 38, 31, 36, 38 and 40 which have been drawn just three times before.
