Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (6, 34, 39) with the draw of 9 July 2026 — its closest relative in 652 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (21 July 2026): 34 carried over. Chance says 51% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 119 — the 74th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 103. No two numbers side by side. 43% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 25 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 3% of the jackpot.
