Do past Mega Millions results affect future draws?
No. Each Mega Millions drawing is an independent random event. A number’s historical frequency does not change its chance of being drawn next time.
What does the expected average of about 66.6 appearances mean?
Over 932 drawings of 5 balls drawn from 70, each white ball would appear about 66.6 times on average if every outcome were equally likely (932 × 5 ÷ 70). Actual counts above and below that mark are normal statistical variation.
What date range and how many drawings do these statistics cover?
These statistics cover 932 Mega Millions drawings from October 31, 2017 through October 2, 2026, using the 5/70 + Mega Ball 1/25 matrix.
How are common number pairs counted?
A pair is counted once each time both white balls appear together in the same drawing. The order of the balls does not matter.
