Melate draw 3726, held on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, has a detail that's easy to miss unless you look at the full history: none of the six numbers came in below 22. No "small" numbers that night at all. The full result was 22, 26, 31, 39, 44, and 52, with 24 as the bonus number (adicional). There's another curiosity worth noting: 39 had also come up in the immediately preceding draw — what lottery statisticians call a "zero-gap repeat," and it happens less often than intuition suggests. On top of that, none of the six numbers were consecutive to one another — a detail worth coming back to once you've checked whether your ticket matched.
If you're holding a ticket from that draw, or you just want to confirm whether you matched, here are the official numbers, how to check them correctly, and what to do depending on the result.
The official numbers for draw 3726
Here's the verified data for that draw, as published by Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública:
- Date: Wednesday, April 5, 2023
- Winning numbers: 22, 26, 31, 39, 44, 52
- Bonus number (adicional): 24
- Jackpot in play: $30,300,000 MXN
- Was the jackpot won? No — nobody matched all six numbers, so the jackpot rolled over into the next draw
For context: Melate is played by picking 6 numbers between 1 and 56, and draws happen Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays around 9:00 p.m. The bonus number is drawn separately and determines intermediate prize tiers, but it isn't part of the main six-number combination.
That no-winner outcome wasn't an isolated fluke: draw 3726 came after at least three straight draws with no jackpot winner, and since nobody won that night either, the rollover streak stretched even further. That's exactly the mechanism behind Melate's growing jackpots — every draw without a jackpot winner adds the unclaimed prize money to the next one.
How to check your ticket from draw 3726, step by step
Checking a ticket is straightforward once you know what to compare and where. Here's the process:
- Find the draw number on your physical ticket. Every printed ticket shows the draw number, the date, and the numbers you played — if you want a full breakdown of what each printed field actually means, the Melate ticket anatomy guide walks through every section.
- Confirm the draw number matches. Make sure your ticket is actually for draw 3726, not a nearby one — checking against the wrong draw is the single most common mistake people make.
- Compare number by number. Match your six played numbers against 22, 26, 31, 39, 44, and 52, and separately note whether you also played 24 as the bonus number.
- Check every combination if you played multiple lines. A single ticket can hold more than one combination; each one gets evaluated against the same result independently.
You can do this comparison yourself against the result above, or verify it through the operator's official site or app, which shows the full draw history. Many authorized points of sale can also scan the ticket's barcode and tell you immediately whether it has a prize, without you having to compare number by number.
If you'd rather check visually instead of comparing digit by digit, the Melate results mask overlays the winning numbers directly on your ticket and makes the comparison faster to read. And if this particular draw isn't the one you were actually looking for, the general how to check your Melate ticket guide covers the process for any draw, not just this one.
Combined tickets: don't mix up Melate, Revancha, and Revanchita
A common source of confusion when checking a ticket is that Melate is almost always played on a combined ticket alongside Revancha and Revanchita. All three draws happen the same night and share the same draw number, but each one has its own independent result — Melate's balls aren't the same as Revancha's or Revanchita's, even though they're drawn that same evening. If you compared your numbers against the wrong result table (say, Revancha instead of Melate), it's easy to wrongly conclude you won nothing, or the opposite. When checking draw 3726, make sure you're specifically looking at the Melate results table, not the combined view for all three draws. Combined tickets often print all three results stacked on one slip, which is convenient but also exactly why it's easy to read the wrong row by mistake.
What each match level actually means
Melate doesn't only pay out to whoever matches all six numbers. There are prize tiers for partial matches, and the bonus number factors into some of them — matching five numbers plus the bonus number pays differently than matching five without it. The exact payout amounts shift with each draw's total collection, so the amount tied to your specific match level in draw 3726 only gets confirmed when the ticket is officially validated, not from a generic table. Publishing a fixed peso figure per tier here would be guesswork dressed up as fact, which is exactly what an honest source shouldn't do.
As general context, Melate's prize tiers start around three matched numbers and go up from there, and the bonus number effectively acts as a seventh number that can bump a player up a tier without needing to match one more main number. That means two tickets with the identical number of main-number matches can land in different prize tiers purely because one had 24 among its played numbers and the other didn't.
What you can do right now is figure out your match level: count how many of your numbers appear among 22, 26, 31, 39, 44, 52, and separately note whether 24 was also on your ticket. That count is what determines whether you have a prize and which tier — before you even get to validation.
Behind the numbers: what the gap data does (and doesn't) tell you
It's worth looking at draw 3726 with a bit of statistical perspective, with the standing caveat that none of this predicts future draws — it's descriptive data about what already happened, not a formula. A few facts about this draw:
- The six numbers summed to 214, higher than a typical Melate draw's average.
- Four of the six numbers were even, two were odd.
- There wasn't a single pair of consecutive numbers among the six — which, given that six numbers are drawn from 56 possible, happens less often than most people assume.
- The numbers spread across four different decades (21-30, 31-40, 41-50, and 51-60), with nothing from the 1-20 range or the top of the 51-56 range.
- Number 39 had a zero-draw gap: it had also come up in the immediately preceding draw.
To put 214 in perspective: if you add up six numbers picked at random between 1 and 56, the expected average sum lands around 171. A sum of 214 isn't impossible or wildly rare, but it does sit clearly above that midpoint — the kind of detail that only makes sense read as a one-off case, never as a signal for the next draw.
A number's "gap" (rezago) is simply how many draws have passed since it last came up; a high gap doesn't mean a number is "due," despite what's often said — every draw resets the odds from zero, equally, for all 56 numbers.
None of these patterns raise or lower the odds of anything in the next draw — every Melate draw is an independent event, with the same 1-in-32,468,436 odds of matching the jackpot regardless of what happened before. These are curiosities for reading the history, not clues for playing.
If your ticket matches: what comes next
If comparing your numbers shows you matched some prize tier in draw 3726, the first rule is don't lose the physical ticket — it's the only valid proof of the play. What happens next depends on the amount: smaller prizes are usually paid directly at the point of sale, while larger amounts require visiting authorized offices with ID. The how to claim a Melate prize guide walks through the full process by amount, and how long Melate prize payouts take covers the realistic timeline once a ticket is validated.
One important reminder: Melate tickets have a hard deadline for claiming, they're not valid indefinitely. If you found this ticket well after draw 3726 happened, confirm right away whether it's still within the claim window instead of assuming you can cash it in whenever.
If the prize is a meaningful amount, it's also worth thinking about privacy before you claim it — how you share the news, with whom, and what precautions to take against pressure or requests for money once people find out you won. It's a part of the process a lot of winners overlook until it's already too late.

How long do I have to claim if I won on that draw?
Melate prizes have a hard claim deadline that runs from the draw date — it isn't indefinite. It's worth confirming the current deadline as soon as possible instead of assuming an old ticket is still valid.
