Mega Millions Number Statistics
How often each of the 70 Mega Millions numbers has been drawn, how long since each last appeared, and which numbers turn up together most often.
Based on the 220 most recent draws we have confirmed — Jul 23, 2024 to Oct 16, 2026. 1 incomplete record was excluded.
Every number has exactly the same chance in every draw. These figures describe draws that have already happened — they cannot predict, and do not improve, what comes next.

Mega Millions statistics FAQ
Which Mega Millions numbers are drawn most often?
Across the 220 draws on this page (Jul 23, 2024 – Oct 16, 2026), 56, 42, 49, 17, 43 came up most. If every number fell perfectly evenly, each would have appeared about 15.7 times, so the spread you see is ordinary variance in a random draw rather than a pattern.
Are overdue Mega Millions numbers more likely to come up?
No. A Mega Millions draw has no memory of the draws before it, so a number that has not appeared for fifty draws has exactly the same chance as one drawn last week. The "overdue" list below is a record of what has happened, not a forecast. Anyone telling you otherwise is describing the gambler's fallacy.
Can these statistics improve my chances of winning?
No, and nothing can — the odds of a Mega Millions line are fixed by the rules of the game. What you can change is how you choose and what happens afterwards: picking with a wheeling system gives you stated coverage guarantees, avoiding popular combinations means sharing a prize with fewer people if it lands, and scanning your ticket means you never throw away a winner.
How are these Mega Millions statistics calculated?
They count the numbers in the last 220 confirmed Mega Millions draws we hold, from Jul 23, 2024 to Oct 16, 2026. Frequency is how many of those draws contained a number, "draws since" counts back from the most recent one, and a pair is counted when both numbers appear in the same draw. Nothing is weighted or adjusted.
