Its nearest twin

Shares 2 of 5 numbers (33, 39) with the draw of 4 August 2026 — its closest relative in 218 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 November 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 134 — the 57th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. Side-by-side numbers: 27–28. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

7 had not appeared for 26 draws. A number waits about 10 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 1.0× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 7% of the jackpot.
