Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (4, 6, 37) with the draw of 7 February 2026 — its closest relative in 153 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 96% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 March 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 58% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 124 — the 26th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 144. No two numbers side by side. 51% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 8 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 1.1× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 31% of the jackpot.
