Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (26, 28, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 15 July 2025 — its closest relative in 862 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 September 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).

Sum and shape

135

The numbers add up to 135 — the 59th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. Side-by-side numbers: 26–27, 27–28. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

26 had not appeared for 15 draws. A number waits about 10 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 1.1× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 7% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 14,902 winners, 21% fewer than the 19k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
