Mega Millions Number 49

Mega Millions number 49 as a white ball

In the 934 Mega Millions drawings from October 31, 2017 to October 9, 2026, 49 came up 58 times as one of the five white balls — 6.2% of draws. Pure chance predicts about 66.7 (5 of 70 balls each draw), so it is running 8.7 below that, among the least drawn numbers (rank 61 of 70). In the last 100 draws it appeared 10 times.

It was last drawn on July 28, 2026, 21 draws ago. Its longest run without being drawn was 85 draws. The numbers drawn with it most often: 2 (8×), 12 (8×), 66 (8×), 26 (7×), 43 (6×).

Every draw is random and independent. How often a number came up in the past doesn't make it more or less likely next time — the odds of the jackpot stay 1 in 290.5 million for every ticket. Why we say so.
