Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (19, 29, 33) with the draw of 31 October 2025 — its closest relative in 298 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 3 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 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 1% of the jackpot.
