Eurojackpot Euro Numbers: The Most Frequent Stars of All Time

By Chronos Team • Jan 15, 2026 • 4 min read

When playing the Eurojackpot, most players obsess over the 5 main numbers. They analyze birthdays, patterns, and lucky digits. But they often forget the most critical part of the ticket: The Euro Numbers (often called "Star Numbers").

These two golden balls (ranged 1 to 12) make the difference between winning a nice €100,000 prize (5+0 match) and the life-changing €120 Million Jackpot (5+2 match).

We analyzed every single draw since 2012 to find the "Golden Stars"—the numbers that historically dominate the machine.

The All-Time Champions (Frequency)

If you are looking for the safest statistical bet, history points to a clear hierarchy. Unlike the main numbers which have a huge variance, the small pool of Stars (1-12) creates very distinct favorites.

The Top 3 Most Drawn Stars:

1. Star 8: The undisputed king. It has appeared in nearly 20% of all draws.
2. Star 5: A consistent performer that often pairs with "Hot" main numbers.
3. Star 3: Frequently seen in high-value jackpot streaks.

Tip: You can verify this live in our Results History page.

The "Data Drift" Warning (Important!)

Before you rush to pick these numbers, you need to understand a critical piece of lottery history.

The Rule Change of 2022:
Before March 2022, there were only 10 Star Numbers. The numbers 11 and 12 were added later.

What this means for statistics:
If you look at raw "All-Time" data, numbers 11 and 12 will appear to be "Cold" (low frequency) simply because they didn't exist for the first 10 years of the game!

The Smart Player's Adjustment:
When using our All-Time Champions strategy, our AI automatically normalizes this data. It knows that 11 and 12 are "newer," so it judges them based on their relative frequency since 2022, not 2012. This prevents you from ignoring a potentially hot number just because it's new.

Pair Strategy: Which Stars Go Together?

Picking Stars isn't just about individual strength; it's about the pair.
Historically, certain combinations appear more often than random chance would suggest.

• Top Pair: 3 & 8 (The "Golden Duo")
• High/Low Balance: The most common winning pattern is one "Low Star" (1-6) and one "High Star" (7-12).

How to Apply This in EuroLotto Predictor

You don't need a spreadsheet to track the 2022 rule change or the pair frequencies. Our "All-Time Champions" strategy handles it for you.

1. Go to Advanced Statistics (The Lab).
2. Enable the "All-Time Champions" strategy (set weight to 15%).
3. Enable "Winning Pairs" (set weight to 10%).

This configuration tells our engine: "Prioritize the historically dominant stars (like 5 and 8), but check the recent data to ensure 11 and 12 get a fair shot."
