Its nearest twin

Shares 5 of 6 numbers (1, 3, 4, 9, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 May 2017 — its closest relative in 1,351 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 7.0% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 October 2026): 34 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

84

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

9 had not appeared for 16 draws. A number waits about 7 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 1.0× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 12% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈5.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,112 winners, 5% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
