Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (4, 24, 32, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 September 2023 — its closest relative in 1,334 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 August 2026): 24 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

126

The longest wait in this draw

16 had not appeared for 26 draws. A number waits about 7 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 26% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈4.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 991 winners, 5% more than the 944 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
