Mega Millions hot & cold numbers
The most- and least-drawn Mega Millions numbers across the 15most recent draws. “Hot” and “cold” describe what has already happened — they don’t make a number more or less likely next time.
A Mega Millions hot or cold run is measured over Tuesday and Friday draws only, so short streaks are normal. The lists below rank what has already been drawn most and least often lately, and the Mega Ball is tracked in its own 1 to 24 pool.

Frequently asked
- Do cold Mega Millions numbers become more likely over time?
- No. Each draw is independent of the ones before it, so a number drawn less often recently is not more likely to appear next. Cold simply means it has shown up less across the recent window.
- What counts as a hot Mega Millions number?
- A hot number is one that has appeared more often than others across the recent draws listed here. It describes past frequency only and does not make any number more likely in the next draw.
