Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 5 numbers (4, 17, 24, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 March 2015 — its closest relative in 2,982 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 59% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (23 May 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

109

The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 12 draws. A number waits about 8 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈909k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,145 winners, 11% more than the 8.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
