How often is 65 drawn in Mega Millions?
Since October 31, 2017, when Mega Millions’ current rules took effect (5 numbers from 1–70), number 65 has been drawn 53 times in 939 draws — the 70th 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 14.1 fewer than the 67.1 a number would average from the matrix alone (21% below).
