What the archive shows
Mega Ball 15 is tracked here on the current matrix: the current Mega Ball field of 1 through 24, from April 8, 2025 through November 10, 2026. Drawings outside that window are in the full NY Open Data file, and they are reported separately because they used a different field.
In these 167 drawings it appeared 2 times. That is 5.0 appearances below the even-split count of 7.0. An even split gives every special ball the same share of those drawings, because one special ball is drawn each time. The median count in this pool of 24 is 7.0. Mega Ball 15 ranks 24th.
The last appearance was April 28, 2026, which is 56 drawings ago. That gap ranks 5th longest in the pool. The longest miss was at the beginning: 103 drawings passed from April 8, 2025 until the first appearance on April 3, 2026.
The appearance before the latest one was April 3, 2026, 7 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 7.0 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
This set does not contain a complete calendar year, so a busiest-year label would overread a partial season. The raw yearly counts are 2 appearances in 2026. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 2 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 0 times. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.
The most recent line was April 28, 2026: white balls 14, 36, 41, 47, 66, and Mega Ball 15.
The white balls drawn most often in the same drawing as Mega Ball 15 were white ball 14 (once), white ball 31 (once), and white ball 36 (once). Those are companions in the archive, not a combination the game prefers.
The neighboring special balls in this same set: Mega Ball 14 (6 appearances) and Mega Ball 16 (11 appearances). Neighbors are next to each other on the number line only. They are separate balls in the machine.
The full file holds 2,556 drawings and records 89 appearances of Mega Ball 15. The earliest of them is July 12, 2002. The full-file count mixes older matrices, so it is the wrong denominator for a current-game rate. Use the matrix count above for that comparison.
A gap of 56 drawings leaves the odds unchanged. Each current Mega Ball has a 1-in-24 chance on the next drawing. The hot, cold, and overdue guide and the odds guide explain that at more length. This page is a record of the archive fetched November 12, 2026.
