How often is 62 drawn in Mega Millions?
Since October 31, 2017, when Mega Millions’ current rules took effect (5 numbers from 1–70), number 62 has been drawn 69 times in 939 draws — tied for 27th most often of 70; it wasn’t in the 1–52 pool when the record began in 2002, so it has no full-history rank.
Data: 2,433 draws, May 17, 2002 – October 27, 2026; updated October 27, 2026.
That is 1.9 more than the 67.1 a number would average from the matrix alone (3% above).
