Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (4, 5, 41, 43) with the draw of 16 May 2026 — its closest relative in 61 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 5.8% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 June 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 140 — the 38th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. Side-by-side numbers: 4–5. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

46 had not appeared for 26 draws. A number waits about 8 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 50% of the jackpot.
