Hot numbers describe recent drawing history and do not indicate that a number is more likely to appear in the next Mega Millions drawing.
Pool change: Mega Millions narrowed its main-number pool from 1–75 to 1–70 in October 2017. Numbers 71 to 75 can no longer be drawn — the last draw on record to include one is October 20, 2017 — so they are left out of the hot and cold rankings on this page. They stay in the historical frequency tables, where they are part of the record.
Pool change: The Mega Ball pool narrowed from 1–25 to 1–24 in April 2025. Mega Ball 25 can no longer be drawn — the last draw on record to include it is April 4, 2025 — so it is left out of the Mega Ball rankings on this page. It stays in the historical frequency tables.

How Mega Millions Hot Numbers Are Calculated
Mega Millions hot numbers are identified by counting how often each main number appears within a selected number of recent drawings. The default calculation uses the last 50 drawings, while users can select 20, 100, 200, or all available drawings. The Mega Ball is analyzed separately because it comes from a different number pool.
- 20 draws
- Very recent trend
- 50 draws (default)
- Balanced recent trend
- 100 draws
- Broader recent trend
- 200 draws
- Longer-term recent trend
- All available draws
- Historical comparison
Are Mega Millions Hot Numbers More Likely to Be Drawn?
No. A number appearing frequently in recent Mega Millions drawings does not have a higher probability of appearing in the next drawing. Hot numbers are a description of recent historical results, not a prediction.
