Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (32, 33, 37, 41) with the draw of 16 April 2024 — its closest relative in 2,802 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 September 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 63% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 183 — the 97th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 129. Side-by-side numbers: 32–33. 56% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 24 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 0.2× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 55% of the jackpot.
