Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (1, 14, 34) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 10 November 2025 — its closest relative in 47 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 48% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 January 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 4 repeated (38% expected).

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 86 — the 42th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 90. No two numbers side by side. 48% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

1 had not appeared for 19 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.
