Its nearest twin

This exact draw has happened before, on 21 December 2024. Chance gave a match this close a 50% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 July 2025): 1, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7 carried over. Chance says 100% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 34 — the 67th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 32. Side-by-side numbers: 0–1, 6–7. 100% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

0 had not appeared for 2 draws. A number waits about 1 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 1.6× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 0% of the jackpot.
