Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (9, 26, 31) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 8 July 2025 — its closest relative in 2,839 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

10 had not appeared for 9 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 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 2% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,415 winners, 16% fewer than the 11k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
