1 - EuroMillions: €87 million jackpot
On Tuesday 20 January 2026, EuroMillions offered a €86.8 million jackpot — an amount still out of the players' reach.
On Tuesday 20 January 2026, EuroMillions offered a €86.8 million jackpot — an amount still out of the players' reach. The draw aligned numbers 11, 18, 19, 22 and 50 with stars 1 and 11. After fifteen consecutive draws without winning in the first row, the pool, now set at €86,841,907, remains intact.
Analysis of numbers Of the last fifty draws, some numbers are clearly detachable: 44 came out 10 times, 13 and 29 nine times each, 5 and 8 eight times. None of these "hot" does appear in Tuesday's combination. Of the five numbers drawn, 18 are the most common over the period (6 presences), 11 was released 5 times, 19 and 22 three times each, and 50 only twice — making 50 a rather rare value on this viewing window.
Peer/unfair distribution is classic (3 peers / 2 odds). On the other hand, the up/down ventilation is marked: four numbers are ≤ 25 against one (> 25). This predominance of small values, without being exceptional, contrasts with the idea of a "balanced" draw on the whole set. On the extreme side, very few numbers were placed at the bottom of the ranking — 23 only appeared once on the 50 draws — but none came back this time. However, the presence of 50 shows that an uncommon number can penetrate statistics.
Distribution of earnings The highlight of the evening was the absence of a winner in the first two rows: row 1 (5+2): 0 winner — jackpot €86,841,907 not awarded; row 2 (5+1): 0 winner (potentially attributable profit: 295 401,40 €). The best ticket identified picks up the row 3 (5 numbers, 0 stars): a single winner pocket €46,026.70. By comparison, the historical average for comparable draws is about 3.92 winners in row 3; So we're below this average, which helps to concentrate the gains.
The low categories brought together the vast majority of the winners: 363,162 award-winning tickets from all categories. Ranks 11 and 12 (2 numbers + star / 2 numbers) alone total 317 732 winners, with modest unit gains (€5.60 and €3.50). The total amount distributed for this draw is approaching, according to the figures reported, €1.8 million, largely composed of low and medium earnings.
Interpretations There are several lessons learned:
- The pool remains elusive: fifteen successive postponements amplify media pressure and suspense, but do not mechanically increase the probability of a winner in rank 1.
- Even in the absence of a winner of the jackpot, players can receive substantial amounts: the winner of the 3 row holds close to €46k.
- The domination of small numbers (4 out of 5 ≤ 25) is notable on this short window; This type of pattern can appear locally, without constituting a usable rule.
- The absence of the "hot" numbers of the moment reminds us that the recent trend does not make any sense: a frequent number can completely erase during a major draw.
And then what? The jackpot was not released; the pool announced for the next draw is estimated at €77.0 million. Three elements will have to be monitored: the evolution of the series of reports and its media impact, the persistence or breakdown of the "dominant low" scheme, and the behaviour of the so-called hot and cold numbers — in particular 23, almost absent the last 50 prints.
This draw illustrates the double dynamic of the EuroMillions: the collective hope of a millionaire winner who moves away, and the immediate redistribution to hundreds of thousands of players, for most often modest wins. The figures do not cut the chance, but they make it possible to account for them.
