I decided to post this up, to ensure that I do this, and don’t just think about it, and go mad if it comes up.
3,3,12,15,17,20,24,32,33,34,40,41,42,43,51,51,55,57,61,63,70,81,111

The top line is the gaps in Euromillions draws between the appearances of 3 consecutive numbers, the lowest being 3 draws, twice, in 2015 and 2016.
The longest gap between such draws is 111 draws, between May 2010 and December 2011.
The second line is the current streak (88) without 3 numbers in-a-row, stretching back to November 2016.
There have been 1047 draws so far, leaving us with an average of one 3 in-a-row per 46 draws.
That leaves me with 111 - 88 = 23 draws until the longest dry run would be equalled, so I can’t resist any longer and I’ll be spending 100 points on every draw from Friday onwards as follows: 48 bets
@2 points on any 3 in-a-row, plus 1 bet
@2 points on 29,30,31 and 1 bet
@2points on 30,31,32. (Personal choices simply to round up the stake)
The return on a treble on the Euromillions is 1500/1 , so one success would yield 3000 points.
This, therefore gives me the next 30 draws to play in this fashion, and would bring me up to the draw on 16-Jan-2018.
I need a win before then to guarantee a profit.
Otherwise, I give up mid-January and one of you steps in and cleans up!!
Of course, there’s no logic – I know that already!
If I had played this bet on every single draw since day one the outcome would have been
Stake 50256 points
Winnings 34523 points
Profit/Loss -15733 points
I just see this as my “window of opportunity”
Note: There has never been a 4 in-a-row in the Euromillions.
