Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (14, 26, 34) with the draw of 8 June 2026 — its closest relative in 107 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 42% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 September 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 43% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 131 — the 57th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 125. No two numbers side by side. 36% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 26 draws. A number waits about 10 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 9% of the jackpot.
