What this check covers
It compares the main numbers of every Mega Millions draw on record with every other draw, ignoring order and the mega ball. It covers the whole archive, including draws made under earlier rules, because the same set of numbers could have come up in either era. (The other statistics use only the 939 draws under the current rules.)
A repeat is no more or less likely than any other result: a set that has been drawn before has the same chance as every other combination in the next draw. Every draw is independent: the machine has no memory, so a number that has come up often, rarely or not for a long time has exactly the same chance as any other in the next draw. These figures describe what has happened, not what will.
