Before draw 3950 of Melate was held, the jackpot had rolled over 42 consecutive draws without a winner — a long streak even for a game where rolling over is the norm rather than the exception. The draw took place on Sunday, September 8, 2024, with a jackpot that had grown to $136,700,000 pesos — and once again, nobody matched all six numbers. If you played that night, here are the exact numbers to check your ticket against, plus context most sites skip.
Draw 3950 results
These are the certified winning numbers for draw 3950, held on September 8, 2024:
- Winning numbers: 10 – 17 – 18 – 32 – 35 – 42
- Additional number: 27
- Jackpot: $136,700,000 MXN
- Was there a jackpot winner? No
To check your ticket, match your six printed numbers against this list in any order — Melate doesn't require them to come out in the same sequence, only that all six match yours. The additional number (27) isn't part of the main combination; it applies to the five-plus-additional prize tier, so check it separately if you were one number short of the jackpot.
How to check your draw 3950 ticket
Whether you kept the physical ticket or a digital confirmation, the process is the same as for any draw:
- Find the draw number printed on your ticket — it should read 3950. If the number doesn't match, you're comparing against the wrong draw, no matter how many digits appear to line up.
- Compare your six numbers against the list above, in any order.
- Check the additional number (27) if you matched five of the six main numbers.
- If you want the general process spelled out, the guide on how to check a Melate ticket covers the official channels — retail points, the app, and the web portal — in more detail.
A winning draw 3950 ticket has a limited claim window, so don't set it aside: the guide on how long you have to claim a prize explains the exact deadline and what documents you'll need.
A streak worth noticing: 42 draws without a winner
What makes this particular draw interesting isn't the numbers themselves — it's what happened before them. By the time draw 3950 came around, the jackpot had already rolled over for 42 consecutive draws with nobody matching all six numbers. Every draw without a winner adds to the next jackpot, which is exactly how the pot reached the $136.7 million pesos on the line that night.
There's no pattern that "predicts" when a streak like this breaks — each draw is an independent event, with the same 1-in-32,468,436 odds regardless of how long the rollover has run. But as a statistical curiosity, it's worth keeping in mind: if you ever wonder why a particular draw's jackpot looks unusually large, the answer is almost always a rollover streak like this one.

The numbers behind draw 3950
For anyone who likes looking at draws under a magnifying glass, here's the exact composition of the 10-17-18-32-35-42 combination:
- Sum total: 154
- Even/odd split: 4 even numbers, 2 odd
- Low/high split: 3 numbers in the low half (1-28), 3 in the high half (29-56)
- Decade distribution: one number in the 1-10 decade, two in 11-20, two in 31-40, one in 41-50 (none in 21-30 or 51-56)
- Consecutive numbers: one consecutive pair (17 and 18)
None of this influenced the outcome, and none of it will influence the next draw — every six-number combination has exactly the same odds of being drawn, whether it's 10-17-18-32-35-42 or any other. Breaking down a draw's anatomy is a curiosity exercise, not a formula.

If your ticket didn't hit the jackpot, don't toss it
Melate pays out across several prize tiers, not just for matching all six numbers. Five matches, five plus the additional number, four matches, and sometimes three matches all qualify for some prize tier depending on the draw. Before writing off your draw 3950 ticket because it didn't have all six numbers, check it again against the smaller tiers — it's a common mistake to discard a ticket that actually qualified for a secondary prize.
If your ticket did win something, the next step is claiming it before the deadline passes. The guide on how to claim a Melate prize walks through the process step by step, and how long payouts actually take covers realistic payment timelines by prize amount.
Common mistakes when checking a ticket
The most common slip-ups have nothing to do with math and everything to do with carelessness:
- Checking against the wrong draw. If your ticket reads 3949 or 3951, the numbers in this article don't apply — every draw has its own combination.
- Ignoring the additional number. It can be the difference between a four-match prize and a five-plus-additional one.
- Not tracking the claim deadline. A winning ticket not claimed within the window simply loses its validity.
- Trusting unofficial screenshots. Always verify against the official source before assuming a result is accurate.
