Where the numbers clustered (and where they didn’t)

The **TrendPick AI Engine** detected a draw that’s basically the lottery equivalent of “don’t overthink it”—but we’re going to overthink it anyway, because that’s half the fun and all of the coping.

Low vs. high distribution: You got a tidy split: 3, 11, 22 in the lower half, then 37, 42, 43 riding high. That’s a nice staircase up the number line—no extreme bunching, no “everything under 20” weirdness, no “all 40s” fever dream.

Consecutive drama: The draw did give us a cute little neighborly moment at 42-43. Two-in-a-row pairs happen often enough that they’re not magical—but they’re just rare enough that they make every almost-winner squint at their ticket like it owes them rent.

Repeats across add-ons: If you played the Lotto Million add-ons, you saw repeats that feel spooky (but are mathematically normal): 3 and 11 show up in Lotto Million 1, while 11 also appears in Lotto Million 2. Meanwhile 46 pops in both Million 1 and Million 2. Translation: a number can be “hot” in the sense that it appeared… and that’s about as far as the science goes.

Extra Shot check: The Extra Shot number was 19, sitting in that mid-low sweet spot where players love to say “I always play 19!” right after it hits and right before it doesn’t for the next 37 draws. Extra Shot can improve payouts in certain prize tier situations depending on the game rules—so if you added it, make sure you check the Illinois Lottery payout schedule before you decide your ticket is either trash or treasure.

Stats for the spreadsheet crowd (respect)

Let’s talk metrics, because nothing says “responsible adult” like analyzing a game with long odds using a table.

Sum = 158: Not too low, not too high—squarely in “reasonable” territory for a 6-ball draw. If you’re the type who avoids very low or very high sums, today would not have offended you.

Odd/Even = 4/2: Slight tilt toward odd balls. It’s not a shocker; odd-heavy and even-heavy mixes both show up regularly. Still, if you’ve been chasing perfect symmetry (3/3), the lottery has once again reminded you it does not do requests.

Range = 40: From 3 up to 43. That’s a healthy spread—wide coverage, fewer “tight cluster” vibes.

Prize tiers, odds, and the part where reality checks your optimism

Illinois Lotto payouts depend on the prize tier you hit (matching fewer numbers pays less, matching all six pays the headline amount). The top prize is a jackpot, so if nobody nails all six, it rolls over—aka the jackpot “saves” money better than most of us.

If you’re lucky enough to hit big, you’ll typically be offered a choice between an annuity and a cash lump sum (where applicable). The lump sum is smaller up front but immediate—perfect for anyone who prefers their dreams funded now instead of drip-fed over years. Just remember: taxes will want a piece of the celebration.

For smaller prizes, you can usually claim at retailers up to certain limits; larger wins may require a visit to an Illinois Lottery claim center. Translation: keep your lucky ticket safe, sign the back, and don’t let it take a “mysterious vacation” in the laundry.
