The luckiest Mega Millions numbers

This Friday the 13th, your luck could change forever!

Tonight’s Mega Millions is closing in on $145 BILLION!

You can pick up a $2 ticket at any one of the hundreds of New York Lottery retailers in the Finger Lakes…the deadline is 10pm!

Here’s a rundown of the luckiest (and unluckiest!) numbers to play*:

  • Over the past five years, the most commonly drawn number has been 14 followed by 17, 10, 31 and 38
  • The most common MegaBall number has been 22…then 11 and 9…so (in theory) a ticket of 10-14-17-31-38 with a MegaBall of 22 might be the way to go
  • The least drawn regular numbers are 49 and 51…along with 50. 35 and 55
  • The least common Mega Balls are 8, 7 and 5
  • In fact, the number 5 is the most overdue…it hasn’t been on a winning ticket since last March…49 and 42 are also very overdue.

As far as where the winning tickets are sold, you’ve got a leg up…more jackpot winner come from the Empire State than any other!

Good luck…and remember, if you don’t win…tomorrow’s Powerball jackpot is $400 million…not a bad consolation prize!
