Lotto 6 of 49 (Germany): all 13,983,816 combinations on one map
How many picks does the German lottery really have – and where exactly is yours? AleaMatrix gives every possible 6-of-49 combination a fixed, unmistakable point on a huge map and colours in where history has been made since 1955. Find your place, remember it, come back to it.
The heatmap colours each area by the number of draws since 1955.
How many combinations are there in 6 of 49?
In the German lottery you pick 6 numbers out of 49. The number of possible combinations is the binomial coefficient "49 choose 6" and equals 13,983,816. Each single one is equally likely – exactly 1 in 13,983,816. With the bonus number (Superzahl) the number of possibilities even rises to 139,838,160.
Has my combination ever been drawn?
Almost certainly not. Since the first draw in October 1955, only a few thousand combinations have ever been drawn – a tiny fraction of the 13,983,816 possible ones. So your numbers are, in nearly every case, a combination that has never come up before. That says nothing about future draws: every draw is independent, and a combination that has never come up is neither “due” nor disadvantaged. Enter your numbers and you instantly see the storage-slot number, the exact spot on the map and – if it has happened after all – the date your combination was drawn.
What the map shows
Each combination gets a unique storage-slot number through a combinatorial method. Over it a heatmap lays out the history: the more often a draw landed in an area, the warmer the colour – from calm dark to glowing red. This lets you see the whole space of possibilities laid out in front of you at a glance – and right in the middle, your own unmistakable point, which you can find again any time.

Frequently asked questions
Does the map raise my winning chance?
The winning chance is exactly the same for each of the 13,983,816 combinations – the map changes nothing about that. It is not a winning system. What it gives you is your own fixed place that you can find again, the whole draw history at a glance, and the most beautiful way to experience your numbers.
What about the bonus number (Superzahl)?
The bonus number is part of the combination and multiplies the space to 139,838,160 slots. In the app 6 of 49 can be viewed with or without the bonus number.
Does it cost anything to use?
The map, heatmap and pick search for one system are free and without sign-up. Premium unlocks all 19 systems, the full history and further tools.
