Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (4, 26, 32) with the draw of 17 March 2026 — its closest relative in 5,540 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Sum and shape

The numbers add up to 105 — the 66th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 95. Side-by-side numbers: 26–27. 46% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

32 had not appeared for 15 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.
