California Lottery Daily pattern watch – Fantasy 5 & SuperLotto Plus (Feb. 17, 2026)
Let’s talk patterns—because the only thing more consistent than lottery odds is how quickly we humans see shapes in random dots. Still, pattern analysis can help you understand today’s draw texture: where the numbers clustered, whether the set skewed low/high, and what repeats popped up across games.
The **TrendPick AI Engine** detected a notable cross-game repeat: 26 appeared in both California Fantasy 5 and SuperLotto Plus. If you’re the kind of player who treats repeats like a “wink from the universe,” fine—but remember the universe doesn’t pay your cash lump sum. The odds don’t get emotionally invested.
Fantasy 5 (8-11-26-28-35) — a mid-to-upper lean without going full skyscraper
Fantasy 5’s set starts with 8 and 11, then steps into the 20s (26, 28) before finishing at 35. Translation: a fairly even climb that avoids extremes. You’ve got one small consecutive-style pairing vibe in the 20s: 26 and 28 sit close together, not consecutive, but neighborly—like numbers sharing a fence and arguing about whose dog barked first.
Low vs. high distribution? Two numbers under 20 (8, 11) and three at 26+ (26, 28, 35). That’s a mild top-heavy shape, but not an avalanche. The sum of 108 is comfortably middle-road for a five-ball draw—high enough to feel “grown up,” not so high it needs a credit score.
For prize tier daydreamers: Fantasy 5 payouts vary by matches, and if you’re lucky enough to be holding all five, you’ll want to move at a sensible pace toward the claim center with your ticket treated like a tiny paper stock certificate.

SuperLotto Plus (5-13-14-26-42 + Mega Ball 20) — wide range, one tight mini-cluster
SuperLotto Plus gave us an interesting split personality: early numbers 5, 13, 14 (including a tidy adjacent pair, 13–14), then a mid number at 26, and finally a big reach to 42. That’s a range of 37, which is the draw’s way of saying, “I didn’t come here to be predictable.”
The Mega Ball landed on 20, keeping the bonus side nicely centered. And while we’re here: yes, everyone loves the idea of turning a small spend into a giant windfall, but the odds are still doing that sarcastic little shrug. Play for fun, not as a retirement strategy.
The listed jackpot in today’s feed is $28 Million for SuperLotto Plus. If you’re already pricing yachts, take a breath: jackpot status is not confirmed in the data feed. That means we’re not asserting whether the top prize had a winning ticket or not—check the official results page for confirmation and any updates on winners, including whether a cash lump sum option applies and what deadlines exist.

Cross-game notes and “if you’re picking numbers” reality checks (Feb. 17, 2026)
Across both draws, the odd/even balance matched perfectly: 2 odd and 3 even in each game. That’s not destiny—it’s just a common outcome in random sets. Still, it can be a useful sanity check if your usual number-picking habits drift into all-odd or all-even territory.
The repeat of 26 is the headline for pattern lovers. The rest of the numbers don’t mirror each other much, which is what you expect from independent draws. If you’re tinkering with a “coverage” approach (spreading low/mid/high), today’s SuperLotto Plus draw is a good example of what wide coverage looks like; Fantasy 5 is more moderate, with a gentler slope upward.
