How often is 66 drawn in Mega Millions?
Since October 31, 2017, when Mega Millions’ current rules took effect (5 numbers from 1–70), number 66 has been drawn 75 times in 939 draws — tied for 10th 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 7.9 more than the 67.1 a number would average from the matrix alone (12% above).
