How number 17 has appeared across 136 Mega Millions drawings since the April 2025 format change, when the Mega Ball pool shrank from 25 to 24.
17
What the numbers mean
Across 136 drawings, Mega Ball 17 appeared 5 times. A perfectly fair draw would produce about 5.7 appearances, so this number is running 11.8% fewer than expected. That is well inside normal random variation for a dataset this size. On average that is 3.9 appearances per year.
Small sample. Only 136 drawings have used this number pool, because Mega Millions changed it at the April 2025 format change, when the Mega Ball pool shrank from 25 to 24. With this little history, swings of 30–40% from expected are completely ordinary. We could show a bigger number by counting older drawings, but those used a different pool and the result would be meaningless.
Each drawing is independent. Nothing on this page changes the odds of Mega Ball 17 being drawn next time—those odds are 1 in 24 every single draw, regardless of history.
