Mathematically, every draw is completely seperate from the last and past results do not indicate future draws, but many people believe that if a number has been drawn so few times, it is more likely to come out sooner than later.
The same works the other way, with numbers that are on a hot streak perhaps less likely to be drawn.
More Historical Results
Let's look a little deeper, and increase the data right back to last Christmas, which is 100 draws. This is when the most hot and cold numbers really start to stand out.

As EuroMillions has a guess range of 1-50, you can really see that the low numbers have prevailed, especially over a 12-month period. There are a massive six numbers under 21 that have come out more than anything in the 21+ range.
Conversely, 48 & 49 have barely been drawn over the last year. Especially 48 which has come out of the draw only three times out of 100.
