Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (15, 31, 39) with the draw of 7 June 2025 — its closest relative in 1,103 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 April 2026): 39 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 132 — the 90th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 100. No two numbers side by side. 44% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

13 had not appeared for 16 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.
