How often each number has appeared across the 15 most recent Mega Millions draws, drawn Tuesday & Friday. Frequency is a look back at what has already been drawn; every future draw is independent.
Mega Millions pairs five main numbers from 1 to 70 with a Mega Ball from its own 1 to 24 pool, and it draws twice a week. With a large pool, most numbers appear only a few times in a recent window, so the order on this page reads best as a current snapshot.

Mega Ball: counted in its own pool
The Mega Ball comes out of a second machine with its own 24-number range, so it is tallied separately from the main numbers rather than mixed into them.

Questions people ask
- What are the most common Mega Millions numbers?
- This page orders each main number by recent appearance count across the latest published Mega Millions draws. With a 1 to 70 main pool and two draws a week, the counts read best as a current sample rather than a fixed order.
- Does this frequency include the Mega Ball?
- The main ranking covers the five main numbers from 1 to 70. The Mega Ball is drawn from a separate 1 to 24 pool, so it is counted on its own rather than mixed into the main-number frequency.
- How is the Mega Millions winning numbers frequency counted?
- Each published draw adds its five main winning numbers to the count, once each, so every draw hands out five slots across the 70 main numbers. That makes a fair share one appearance for every 14 draws counted, and a count above or below that line is what hot and cold describe. The Mega Ball is counted separately, against its own 1 to 24 pool.
