A crumpled Melate ticket at the bottom of a glovebox doesn't say much on its own — just a barely legible row of six numbers and, in one corner, a draw number reading 3945. If that's you, here are the Melate 3945 results exactly as they were published that night: on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, the numbers drawn were 12, 20, 24, 44, 50 and 56, with 21 as the adicional. Nobody hit the jackpot — a 118-million-peso pool that had already rolled over 37 straight draws without a winner — so if your ticket doesn't match all six of those numbers exactly, it didn't win the top prize. It's still worth reading on: there are lower prize tiers, and there's a correct way to check.
Draw 3945 results, number by number
Here's what came up, no dressing it up:
- Draw: 3945
- Date: Wednesday, August 28, 2024
- Main numbers: 12, 20, 24, 44, 50 and 56
- Adicional: 21
- Jackpot: not claimed; pool of 118 million pesos rolled forward
That's the full result as it was announced that night. One detail worth stressing, because it's the single most common mistake when checking an old ticket: if yours isn't marked draw 3945, these numbers won't help you at all. Every Melate draw has its own combination, and comparing against the wrong one — say, draw 3944 or 3946 — is the easiest way to mistakenly believe you lost, or won, by accident.
How Melate results get published (and what to do if you want today's)
Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública holds the Melate draw three times a week — Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, around 9 p.m. — with the ball drawing broadcast live. Minutes later, the numbers go up on the official site and, in parallel, on this site's Melate results section, which updates draw by draw. Anyone looking for a more recent draw's result will find it there. This page, by contrast, is the specific record for one draw that already happened: 3945, from August 28, 2024, no more and no less.
A combination with one unusual trait: six evens, not a single odd
Of the six main numbers in draw 3945, all six — 12, 20, 24, 44, 50 and 56 — are even. There wasn't a single odd number in the set, which is considerably less common than a mixed combination: mathematically, there are far more ways to split six numbers between even and odd than to line all six up on the same side. The combination also came out balanced between low and high numbers — three from 1 to 28, three from 29 to 56 — and none of the six landed next to another as a consecutive pair.
None of that predicts anything. It's a snapshot of what happened on that specific night, not a signal for what's coming in the next draw. If you want to understand how common even and odd combinations really are — and why that split doesn't change your odds of winning — we cover it calmly in even and odd numbers in Melate.
A 118-million-peso pool that had already gone 37 draws without a winner
Heading into draw 3945, Melate's jackpot had gone 37 consecutive draws without anyone matching all six main numbers — more than three months of back-to-back draws feeding the same pool. The night of August 28 didn't change that either: the accumulated 118 million pesos rolled forward into later draws, extending the streak further still. For scale, the largest jackpot Melate has ever paid out reached 639.5 million pesos, in draw 2677 back in 2013. A hundred and eighteen million is a substantial figure, large enough to pull in more casual players, but it was still well short of that record.
A long streak tempts people into thinking the pool is "due," or that after so many empty draws the next one is more likely to produce a winner. It isn't. Every draw is an event independent of the last, and neither the size of the pool nor the length of the streak changes the mathematical probability of any ticket in the slightest. How the rollover mechanism actually works is explained in Melate's accumulated jackpot, and the belief that a streak "must" break soon has a name of its own: it's called the gambler's fallacy.
How to check whether a draw-3945 ticket is a winner
If the ticket in your hand has "3945" written as the draw number, checking it is straightforward: find the six numbers you played and compare them, one by one, against the 12, 20, 24, 44, 50 and 56 above, then note whether your adicional matches 21. Matching all six main numbers is the jackpot, and we already know nobody did that this particular night. But Melate pays out prizes across several tiers below the jackpot, so matching four or five numbers, with or without the adicional, can still be worth a smaller prize.
The reliable way to confirm it is to check your ticket against the official result number by number, not from memory. If the paper is smudged or the draw number is hard to read, the full process — what you need on hand and where to verify it safely — is laid out in how to check a Melate ticket.
If it turns out you did win, the window to collect isn't unlimited
Melate prizes can't be claimed indefinitely — there's a deadline after the draw date, and once that date passes, the prize can no longer be collected. If the draw-3945 ticket you found tucked away — or any other old ticket that turns up — did win something, don't leave it waiting in a drawer again. The exact deadlines and the claim process are detailed in how long you have to collect a Melate prize.

Where can I see the most recent Melate results, not just draw 3945?
In this site's Melate results section, which updates draw by draw, or on the official Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública site.
Is it unusual for all six numbers in a draw to be even?
Yes, it's less common than a mixed split of even and odd numbers, though it remains just as possible an outcome as any other — each number's individual probability doesn't change based on its parity.
Can the data from draw 3945 be used to predict future draws?
No. Every Melate draw is independent of the one before it. The parity, the length of the jackpot streak, and any other pattern in this draw are descriptive facts about the past, never a prediction tool.
