Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (8, 19, 25, 36) with the draw of 1 March 2023 — its closest relative in 374 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 38% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 November 2025): 8 carried over. Chance says 59% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 133 — the 39th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 141. No two numbers side by side. 52% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 27 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 1.1× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 28% of the jackpot.
