Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (6, 10, 22) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 28 July 2025 — its closest relative in 135 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 85% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (27 April 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 3 repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 82 — the 35th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 90. Side-by-side numbers: 9–10. 48% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

10 had not appeared for 26 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 1.0× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 1% of the jackpot.
