Megabucks Plus number frequency, odds and draw history

Megabucks Plus draws 5 numbers from 41, plus one Megaball from 6. This page counts 1,969 draws under the current rules, from July 29, 2009 to November 9, 2026, sold in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont.

How often each number has been drawn

Across 1,969 draws each ball should turn up about 240 times. Random variation alone spreads that out, and about 19 in 20 balls land between 211 and 269. 2 of the 41 balls fall outside it and chance alone would put about 2 there, so this is an ordinary result. 39 balls are indistinguishable from random.

This is the part worth reading twice. A number drawn more often than its neighbours has not become more likely, and the table below is sorted only because people expect it to be. The average wait between appearances for any one ball is 8.2 draws, so a gap several times that long is ordinary rather than overdue.

The Megaball

Drawn from its own machine, one ball per draw out of 6, so it is counted on its own and compared against its own range rather than the one above. Across 1,969 draws each ball should turn up about 328 times. Random variation alone spreads that out, and about 19 in 20 balls land between 295 and 361. Not one of the 6 balls falls outside it.
