Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (18, 35, 50) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 April 2026 — its closest relative in 1,081 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 April 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

4 had not appeared for 16 draws. A number waits about 10 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 13% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈710k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,472 winners, 7% fewer than the 2.7k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
