Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (5, 12, 41) with the draw of 7 January 2026 — its closest relative in 172 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 96% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (27 June 2026): 43 carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 125 — the 22th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. No two numbers side by side. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 10 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 1.1× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 39% of the jackpot.
