Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (1, 2, 32, 33) with the draw of 5 February 2025 — its closest relative in 428 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 66% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (10 December 2025): 28, 33 carried over. Chance says 66% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

32 had not appeared for 19 draws. A number waits about 7 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 13% of the jackpot.
