3131times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,342 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.

Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (8, 22, 25, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 April 2026 — its closest relative in 1,342 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 August 2026): 25 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

129

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 41 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 16% of the jackpot.
