California Lottery Daily pattern deep dive – Fantasy 5 & SuperLotto Plus (Feb. 16, 2026)

Let’s talk about the part everyone loves to hate: odds. They’re never “in your favor,” they’re just politely waiting to mug your wallet in a dark alley. Still, every draw has a personality, and Monday’s California lineup showed two very different moods—one frugal and compact, the other sprawling like a shopping cart with no budget.

Fantasy 5: all-odd energy and a low-number parade

Fantasy 5 served up 1-3-15-17-21 with a listed jackpot of $156,000. That set is almost comically consistent: every number is odd. That doesn’t make it “due” or “special”—random is random—but it does make it a clean outlier compared with the more typical 2/3 or 3/2 odd-even split.

The distribution also leaned low. Four of the five numbers sit at 17 or below, and the full spread runs just 20 points from 1 to 21. If you were hoping for a wild, across-the-board scatter, Fantasy 5 basically chose a quiet neighborhood and never left it.

There’s also a small cluster effect: 1 and 3 appear together, and 15 and 17 are close companions. No direct consecutive pair (like 15-16), but the grouping is tight enough to feel like the numbers carpooled to the drawing.

SuperLotto Plus: a wide range, plus the red 20 that wants attention

SuperLotto Plus printed 5-13-14-26-42 with Mega Ball 20 and a posted jackpot of $28 Million. That’s the headline money—the kind that makes you practice saying “cash lump sum” in the mirror like you’re auditioning for a financial makeover show.

Main-ball spread? Big. The range is 37 (from 5 to 42), which means the draw didn’t just pick a section of the number line; it took the whole freeway system. You also get one near-consecutive adjacency: 13-14. Those little neighbors pop up often enough in lotteries to be familiar, but they still look suspiciously “designed” to humans who expect randomness to be tidy. Spoiler: randomness is messy, and it doesn’t care about your pattern preferences.

Odd-even balance is more typical here: 2 odd and 3 even on the main five. And the sum of the five main balls hits 100, a pleasingly round figure that will make numerology fans happy and statisticians shrug.

As for Mega Ball 20, it lands squarely in that mid-range sweet spot—high enough to feel exciting, low enough to feel “reachable.” Neither of those feelings improves your odds, but they do improve the drama, which is apparently what we’re all buying.

Cross-game notes: repeats, ranges, and “why didn’t my lucky ticket win?”

The **TrendPick AI Engine** detected zero overlap between Fantasy 5’s five numbers and SuperLotto Plus’s five main numbers. No shared 1, 3, 15, 17, or 21—none of it. If you played the same digits across both games, Monday was the kind of day that says, “Cute strategy. Anyway…”

What did repeat in spirit was the preference for low-to-mid numbers. Fantasy 5 lived low; SuperLotto Plus included 5, 13, 14, 26 before finally jumping to 42. That late high number is the outlier that stretches the range and keeps the set from looking too “samey.”

If you’re the type who builds picks from patterns, take this as a reminder: pattern analysis is a tool for understanding what happened, not a magic wand for what will happen. Your best “system” is still managing budget, picking consistently if it’s fun, and checking prize tier rules so you know what your lucky ticket is actually aiming for.

If you matched numbers and you’re suddenly walking like a person who knows where the nearest claim center is—verify everything with official sources. Jackpot status is not confirmed in the feed, and prize claiming rules can vary by game and by prize tier. If you do land a top prize, you’ll also want to understand what “cash lump sum” means in practice (and what taxes may do to your daydreams).
