Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (7, 12, 27) with the draw of 10 July 2026 — its closest relative in 703 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 September 2026): 24 carried over. Chance says 66% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 81 — the 6th 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

27 had not appeared for 25 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 3.0× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 4% of the jackpot.
