Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (17, 18, 42) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 31 August 2024 — its closest relative in 1,086 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 May 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 57 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 11% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈541k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,862 winners, 8% fewer than the 2.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
