The melate 3974 results fit on a single line: 2, 4, 16, 23, 31 and 45, with 36 as the adicional, drawn on Sunday, November 3, 2024. Nobody matched all six. The $30,800,000-peso jackpot walked into that night carrying eight straight draws without a winner and walked out carrying nine — which is usually the part that matters most to anyone looking this draw up months later: there was no top prize left to claim. What doesn't fit on that line is the rest of this page — how a 3974 ticket actually gets verified, by code and serial number rather than by eye; how realistic collecting anything is now that so much time has passed since November 2024; and exactly where these numbers come from.
The winning numbers of Melate's Sorteo 3974
At 9:00 p.m. that night, Melate drew the following combination:
- 2 · 4 · 16 · 23 · 31 · 45
- Adicional (bonus) number: 36
If your ticket carries those six numbers in the main block, it matches Sorteo 3974's official result. The adicional isn't part of the jackpot — it's used to calculate lower prize tiers — so check it separately. That night's jackpot stood at $30,800,000 pesos, and nobody won it: the draw arrived already carrying eight consecutive rollovers, and with no winner that count climbed to nine.
How to check your Sorteo 3974 ticket
Comparing the numbers by eye is the first filter, but not the only one worth clearing. A Melate ticket carries its own code and serial number, and those are what an authorized retailer or the official system actually use to confirm a prize with certainty — numbers merely "looking similar" isn't enough. If your ticket matches the combination above, the next step is verifying it through an official channel before assuming anything. The guide on how to check a Melate ticket walks through the full process, including exactly what information you need on hand and where a ticket actually gets validated, not just eyeballed.
Can you still claim a prize if your ticket won?
This is where honesty beats optimism. Sorteo 3974 was played in November 2024; if you're reading this well after that, a considerable amount of time has already passed. A prize isn't claimable indefinitely: there is a time limit, each draw's official rules set it, and it certainly doesn't start the day you found the ticket. We won't invent a specific number of days here, because it's an official figure you should confirm at the source, not guess at. What we can tell you with certainty is this: if your Sorteo 3974 ticket won, the clock has already been running for a long time, so verify immediately through official channels whether it still applies. The guide on how to claim a Melate prize gives the general picture and where to confirm your specific case.
"No jackpot winner" isn't the same as "no prizes paid"
The fact that Sorteo 3974's jackpot went unclaimed doesn't mean nothing was paid out that night. Melate pays several lower prize tiers — five numbers plus adicional, five numbers, four numbers, and three numbers — and each one is evaluated independently of the top prize. Nobody matching all six main numbers says nothing about whether anyone won in those lower tiers; that breakdown, with the exact amounts per category, is something only Pronósticos publishes.
That distinction matters for two situations people search for separately. If the ticket belonged to more than one person, the way to split any lower-tier prize without a fight afterward is covered in the guide to playing Melate as a group. And if you're worried you waited too long to check the ticket in the first place, where to confirm whether you're still in time is covered in how long you have to claim a Melate prize.
Where these results come from
Sorteo 3974's combination isn't invented or reinterpreted by anyone: it's the one Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública broadcast and published on the night of the draw, and it's the same one reproduced here. For results from more recent draws or a different date, the Melate results archive organizes the full history by draw number and date, and the site's live results page updates after every draw from that same official source. If a figure here ever doesn't match what you see on the official Pronósticos site, that source is always the one that governs.
How unusual this draw actually was
For anyone curious beyond "did I win": Sorteo 3974 wasn't an ordinary draw statistically speaking. The sum of its six main numbers came out to just 121, well below the game's historical average, and it registered zero consecutive pairs. The jackpot — that $30.8 million left unclaimed — had been building because the odds of matching the top prize sit at 1 in 32,468,436 on every single draw, a figure that doesn't shift no matter how many nights pass without a winner; the mechanics of that buildup are explained in full in the accumulated Melate jackpot explainer. If you want the full breakdown of why this particular combination was so unusual, we dig into it in the Sorteo 3974 analysis.
The full profile of the combination: odd/even, ranges, and lag
Beyond the sum and the consecutive-pair count, Sorteo 3974 has a shape worth breaking down, because these are exactly the figures people misread the first time they run into lottery statistics. Of the six numbers — 2, 4, 16, 23, 31, and 45 — three are even and three are odd, a clean 3-3 split. By range, four fell in the lower half of the board (1 through 28) and two in the upper half (29 through 56). Spread across decades, the pattern was scattered rather than clustered: two numbers in the 1-10 decade, one each in 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, and 41-50, and none at all in 51-56.
One figure that tends to confuse people is each number's "lag" — how many draws passed since it last appeared before this one. Here, 23 carried a lag of 0 (it had come up in the immediately preceding draw), 2 had a lag of 1, 31 a lag of 2, 45 a lag of 5, 4 a lag of 7, and 16 a lag of 8; the adicional, 36, carried a lag of 3. It's tempting to read a high lag as a number being "overdue" and therefore more likely to hit soon, but the machine has no memory of how many draws it's been since 16 last came up — each draw is independent of every draw before it. That reasoning is the gambler's fallacy applied to the lottery: lag describes what already happened, and it predicts nothing about what comes next.
How Melate results get published, draw after draw
Beyond this particular draw, it's worth understanding the general rhythm: Melate draws six numbers out of 56, plus one adicional, three times a week — Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, around 9:00 p.m. Each draw is an independent event, broadcast and published the same day, with no delay or later revision. That means if you're searching for results from a recent draw, the figure should already be available that same night or, at the latest, the following morning, through official channels and the sites that, like this one, mirror that same source.
