The Cold Streak: Number 60
The headline of this draw is number 60, which had not appeared in 47 consecutive Mega Millions drawings — making it one of the twenty longest cold streaks tracked in our database for this game. Based on analysis of 1,200 historical Mega Millions draws, the average gap between appearances for any single number is 19.4 draws. A 47-draw gap places number 60 well into statistical outlier territory, though random variation can produce such gaps regularly across the full 70-number pool.
Mega Ball 12 Frequency
Mega Ball 12 has appeared in just 2 of the 52 Mega Millions drawings conducted so far in 2026 — a frequency of 3.8% against an expected rate of 4.0% for a 25-ball pool. This is within normal variance.

The main ball sum of 160 falls above the 2026 year-to-date average of 152.7. The range (highest minus lowest) is 55, which is above the median range of 48 for Mega Millions draws this year.
