Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (2, 19, 28) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 February 2026 — its closest relative in 1,336 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (8 August 2026): 13 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

109

The numbers add up to 109 — the 30th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. No two numbers side by side. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

39 had not appeared for 19 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 15% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈5.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,215 winners, 3% more than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
