Most Drawn Numbers For Mega Millions Lottery
These are the most drawn numbers for Mega Millions Lottery.
There will be lots of long lines today at the lotto counters with many hoping their numbers will be drawn for the $1.1 billion lottery jackpot tonight for Mega Millions.
The Mega Millions multi-state lottery has hit an estimated jackpot of over $1.1 billion, making the upcoming drawing one of the largest lottery prizes in U.S. history.
But, unfortunately, huge prizes come with tiny odds. A player who buys a single ticket only has a 1 in 302,575,350 chance of winning the jackpot. But, if you want to increase your chances of winning, you might want to think about playing these commonly drawn numbers.
What Are The Most Common Numbers Drawn
The Mega Millions lottery winner is chosen by randomly selecting five white balls with numbers on them out of a pool of 70 numbered balls, and then a “Mega Ball” out of a pool of 25.
The five numbers that came up the most in Mega Millions drawings over the last seven years are 14 (drawn 52 times), 17 (51 times), 10 and 31 and 38 (all drawn 38 times). The most common Mega Ball was 22 (drawn 32 times), followed by 11 (28 times), 9 (26 times), and 10 and 18 and 24 (all 25 times). The least commonly drawn numbers are 49 and 51 (both drawn 25 times) and the least common Mega Ball is 8 (16 times). This is according to U.S.A Mega
Before you go and pick one of those numbers, you might want to think about it first. If other people choose the same numbers as you, you’ll have to share the jackpot with them—and people are more likely to choose a “lucky” number like 7, or a number between 1 and 31 because it represents a birthday or special date.
What Is The Secret To Winning The Lottery?
Buy more tickets. Of course it is, right? According to one 7 time lottery winner, that’s how it works. Lottery is a game of chance and probability, so the best way to increase your odds of winning is……to buy more tickets. If you have a 1 in 300 million chance of winning, buying a second ticket doubles your odds to 2 in 300 million, another to 3 in 300 million, and so on.
What about if you bought a million lottery tickets? Unfortunately, the odds would still be overwhelmingly against you, so it’s not really worth it.
Play your lucky number, play an uncommon number, play your birth date, whatever you want. Buy one ticket or buy twenty. It doesn’t really matter. You still have about a 1 in 302,575,350 chance of winning the jackpot.
Good Luck tonight!
