Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (16, 24, 27, 39) with the draw of 8 July 2023 — its closest relative in 410 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 41% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (28 March 2026): 19 carried over. Chance says 59% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 158 — the 70th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 141. No two numbers side by side. 52% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

39 had not appeared for 21 draws. A number waits about 8 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 39% of the jackpot.
