Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (26, 35, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 August 2023 — its closest relative in 2,471 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Sum and shape

161

The numbers add up to 161 — the 100th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 100. Side-by-side numbers: 25–26, 37–38. 44% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 6 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 8,344 winners, 36% fewer than the 13k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
