Most and least drawn numbers of 2026

With 67 drawings and five balls each, every number "should" appear about 4.8 times if the machine is fair. The spread below is what fair randomness actually looks like over a single year — a leader several appearances clear of the field, and a tail of numbers that barely showed up.

Mega Millions's most frequent number in 2026 was 30, drawn 9 times — in 13.4% of the year's drawings. Every number from 1 to 70 came up at least once, with the quietest appearing just 1 time (28, 29). The most common Mega Ball was 12, with 10 appearances.

None of this predicts anything. A number that led one year has no better chance the next, and the ranking reshuffles completely from year to year — which is exactly what testing the full record against simulated fair draws shows.

Extremes of the year

The lowest-scoring drawing of 2026 came on April 7, 2026, when the five white balls added up to just 112:
