Frequency, dry spells, recent momentum, pair affinity, sums and odd/even balance all come from the real winning history.The numbers this site produces are reference figures for entertainment purposes only, based on historical statistics and a random sampling algorithm. Every lottery drawing is a perfectly independent event, so nothing here guarantees or improves a win. Please do not buy lottery tickets excessively.
Drawing statistics
How often each white ball (1–70) has come up across 920 drawings. The dashed line is the count expected from pure chance — every ball should sit near 66 — and highlighted bars are the numbers you just generated.
Mega Ball frequency (1–24). The pool shrank from 25 to 24 balls on April 8, 2025, so 25 is left out of both the statistics and the picks.
How the five white balls have added up historically. The accent lines mark the sums of the lines you just generated.
Warmer colours are drawn more often. The small number is drawings since that ball last appeared.
Mega Millions rules, odds and prize tiers
Mega Millions draws five white balls from 1–70 and one Mega Ball from 1–24. Order does not matter, so the number of possible tickets is C(70, 5) × 24 = 290,472,336 — the jackpot odds. Drawings are held tuesdays & fridays at 11:00 p.m. ET. Every $5 play carries a built-in random multiplier of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X that is applied to any non-jackpot prize, so the smallest possible win is $10.
| Match | Base prize | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| 5 white + MB | Jackpot | 1 in 290,472,336 |
| 5 white | $1,000,000 | 1 in 12,629,232 |
| 4 white + MB | $10,000 | 1 in 893,761 |
| 4 white | $500 | 1 in 38,859 |
| 3 white + MB | $200 | 1 in 13,965 |
| 3 white | $10 | 1 in 607.17 |
| 2 white + MB | $10 | 1 in 665 |
| 1 white + MB | $7 | 1 in 85.81 |
| 0 white + MB | $5 | 1 in 35.17 |
Adding up every tier, the fixed prizes return 7.5% of the $5 ticket price on average. The rest of a ticket's value sits in the jackpot, which is why the expected value of a play swings so widely with the advertised prize. See the break-even calculation →
What this generator does — and what it cannot do
The generator weights each ball by how often it has been drawn, how long it has been missing, its momentum over the last 60 drawings and which balls it tends to appear with, then shapes each line so its sum, odd/even split, low/high split and decade spread look like a real drawing. That makes the output statistically typical of past winners. It does not make it more likely to win: the 290,472,336 possible tickets are, and remain, equally likely.
