The shape of this line

People notice these and read something into them. They are worth naming precisely so you can see how ordinary they are.

• This line contains every number odd. About 1 in 37 lines of 5 from 39 does.

None of that made the line more or less likely to be drawn. Every set of 5 numbers has exactly the same chance — here is what the record shows about shapes people avoid.

Compared with the rest of the record

The numbers add up to 51. For 5 numbers from 39 the average total is 100, and nine draws in ten land between 61 and 139. This one is outside it, which happens about one draw in ten.

It shared no numbers with the previous draw on Saturday 15 August 2026. The expected overlap between one draw and the next is 0.64 — a draw repeats a number about as often as picking blind would, because that is exactly what it is doing.
