Every number drawn since the current 5/70 format began, counted honestly — with a clear note on what the numbers can and can't tell you.

So treat "hot" and "cold" as a fun look back, not a tip sheet. These counts don't make any number more or less likely next drawing. Anyone selling a "system" built on them is selling the gambler's fallacy.

The gold ball is drawn from a separate pool of 24. These counts cover only the current pool, which began in April 2025 — a shorter, newer span than the main numbers above.
Pick five numbers and a Mega Ball, and see how the exact line — and partial matches — have actually landed since 2017.
The essentials, the current odds, and where the money sits.
A Mega Millions play costs $5. You pick five main numbers from 1 to 70 and one gold Mega Ball from 1 to 24. Drawings are held Tuesday and Friday nights. To win the jackpot you must match all five main numbers plus the Mega Ball — odds of about 1 in 290.5 million. Since April 2025 every play includes a built-in random multiplier (2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, or 10×) that applies to all non-jackpot prizes, so the smallest prize you can actually win is $10.
| Match | Base prize | Odds (1 in) |
|---|---|---|
| 5 + Mega Ball | Jackpot | 290,472,336 |
| 5 | $1,000,000 | 12,629,232 |
| 4 + Mega Ball | $10,000 | 893,762 |
| 4 | $500 | 38,860 |
| 3 + Mega Ball | $200 | 13,966 |
| 3 | $10 | 607 |
| 2 + Mega Ball | $10 | 665 |
| 1 + Mega Ball | $7 | 86 |
| Mega Ball only | $5 | 36 |
Overall odds of winning any prize: about 1 in 23. Base prizes shown; every play's built-in 2×–10× multiplier raises all non-jackpot prizes (it does not apply to the jackpot).
No. Each drawing is independent, so a number that has come up often has exactly the same chance next time as one that hasn't. The frequency counts on this page describe the past; they don't predict the future.
Also no — that's the same gambler's fallacy in reverse. A number being drawn less often doesn't build up any pressure to appear. Over a long enough run the counts even out on their own, not because any single draw is "owed."
The main 5/70 format has been stable since October 2017, so the white-ball counts go back that far. The Mega Ball pool shrank from 25 to 24 on April 8, 2025, so we count the Mega Ball only from then on — mixing the two pools would distort the numbers. That's why the Mega Ball chart rests on a smaller, newer sample.
