0.33% of the players ended ahead, and 35% were ahead at some point along the way.
The exact average is -€2,545, and the 10,000 players here averaged -€2,569. The typical player does worse than the average, because a few large wins pull the average up.
Players who won the jackpot: 0 of 10,000.
-€3,248-€2,140
The 500 luckiest players ended further right, off the chart: a few large wins lie so far away that they would flatten every other bar.

How the simulation works
Every player plays in every draw. For each play, one random number picks the outcome according to the exact chances on the odds page, so the 10,000 players follow the same table. The prizes are those of the "is it worth it?" page.
The random numbers come from a generator (xoshiro128**) that starts from a code, the "seed". The same seed always gives exactly the same players, which is why a link can show a run again. The button picks a new seed every time.
The exact average does not come from the simulation: it is what you spend times the average loss of a play. The average of the 10,000 players lands close to it, and the gap between them shows how much luck matters even across that many players.
What this leaves out
- Tax: every figure is before any tax on winnings.
- Time: amounts are not adjusted for inflation, and a prize paid in instalments counts at its full amount.
- A jackpot that changes: every winner here gets the amount you type, shared with other winners as on the "is it worth it?" page.
