Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (4, 22, 30, 36) with the draw of 22 April 2025 — its closest relative in 625 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 79% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 June 2026): 30 carried over. Chance says 66% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 131 — the 65th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 120. No two numbers side by side. 59% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

13 had not appeared for 21 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 16% of the jackpot.
