Its nearest twin

Shares 5 of 6 numbers (10, 22, 30, 34, 37) with the draw of 10 April 2010 — its closest relative in 2,150 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 4.3% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 January 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 57% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 14 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 48% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈391k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 7,316 winners, 0% fewer than the 7.3k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
