Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (9, 21, 25, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 15 June 2022 — its closest relative in 1,335 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 August 2026): 13, 24 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

9 had not appeared for 14 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 17% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈6.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,325 winners, 4% fewer than the 1.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
