Mega Millions Jackpot – Which Numbers Have Been Drawn The Most?
The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday March 26th is now up to a whopping $1,1 billion dollars! Someone in Florida got very close to winning the Mega Millions jackpot last Friday, but not quite. That ticket, sold at Publix at 4141 N. Federal Highway in Boca Raton, Florida had all 5 numbers correct, but not the Mega Ball. It’s a million dollar winning ticket, but it’s not a billion.
Can someone in Florida win it all? Yes. Last summer, just over 7 months ago, someone from Neptune Beach, Florida won $1.58 billion on Mega Millions. So yes, it can happen here.
Winning the Mega Millions Jackpot
There’s two ways to play. The auto pick, or doing your own. If you’re not one to leave things to chance, you’re the type of person who picks their own numbers. But which numbers? Do you go with birthdays and anniversaries? Maybe that will hit. I’m different. I go with analytics. So, looking at the data, we can see which Mega Millions numbers come up more than others. We can also see which numbered Mega Ball comes up more often. Someone in Boca was just a Mega Ball away from bringing home almost a billion dollars last weekend. Let’s get to the data.
Here are the 10 most often white numbered balls to be drawn since October 31, 2017.
- 3 – Drawn 63 times.
- 10 – Drawn 63 times.
- 17 – Drawn 60 times.
- 14 – Drawn 59 times.
- 31 – Drawn 59 times.
- 46 – Drawn 59 times.
- 8 – Drawn 58 times.
- 64 – Drawn 58 times.
- 15 – Drawn 57 times.
- 29 and 38 – (tie) Both drawn 56 times.
And some of those recently, too. 3, 31, and 8 all showed up in the March 22nd drawing. To see the disparity between most and least, the numbers 49 and 51 have each only appeared 34 times. That’s quite a gap. Now let’s take a look at that Mega Ball.
Here are the 10 most often Mega Balls to be drawn since October 31, 2017.
- 11 – Drawn 37 times.
- 22 – Drawn 37 times.
- 18 – Drawn 34 times.
- 24 – Drawn 34 times.
- 13 – Drawn 32 times.
- 25 – Drawn 31 times.
- 4 – Drawn 30 times.
- 9 – Drawn 30 times.
- 17 – Drawn 29 times.
- 19 – Drawn 28 times.
The difference between most and least is even more pronounced with the Mega Ball. The number 8 has only been drawn 18 times. Less than half of the times 11 and 22 showed up. Let’s recap.
The Mega Millions Jackpot stands at $1.1 Billion.
As the Florida Lottery always says, please play responsibly. Also, I can’t guarantee you’ll win the Mega Millions jackpot, if I knew which numbers were going to come up I’d already be living on that $295 million dollar Port Royal island in Naples, Florida. Right? But good luck to all.
* The data is of October 31st, 2017 because that’s the day they changed Mega Millions to it’s current setup.
The Best Local Cuisine Restaurants In Southwest Florida
1. Dixie Fish Company
I can’t believe we almost lost this place. The Dixie Fish Company on Fort Myers Beach was almost wrecked by Hurricane Ian. There was a boat on their front steps. Seriously.
Thankfully, they were able to put everything back together, and according to Tripadvisor it’s the number one spot for fresh local seafood in Southwest Florida. It’s an open air bar/restaurant and has everything you could possibly want from a waterfront restaurant on an island. It’s an absolute must for anyone visiting the Fort Myers area. Us locals love it, too. This is true original Southwest Florida.
