What the archive shows
Mega Ball 25 is not in the current Mega Millions drawing. Since the April 8, 2025 drawing, the gold Mega Ball has been taken from 1 through 24. This page counts 25 only in the previous field, October 31, 2017 through April 4, 2025, when the Mega Ball ran from 1 through 25. A silence after April 4, 2025 is not a gap the game can close.
In these 776 drawings it appeared 36 times. That is 5.0 appearances above the even-split count of 31.0. An even split gives every special ball the same share of those drawings, because one special ball is drawn each time.
It appeared in the last drawing of that field, on April 4, 2025. The longest miss lasted 88 drawings, after May 25, 2018 and before it returned on April 2, 2019.
The appearance before the latest one was October 1, 2024, 53 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 21.7 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2018–2024), 2020 had the most appearances, 7. 2018 had the fewest, 2. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 4 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 1 time. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.
The most recent line was April 4, 2025: white balls 11, 28, 35, 37, 69, and Mega Ball 25, multiplier 2×.
The white balls drawn most often in the same drawing as Mega Ball 25 were white ball 28 (7 times), white ball 5 (6 times), and white ball 19 (5 times). Those are companions in the archive, not a combination the game prefers.
The full file holds 2,556 drawings and records 59 appearances of Mega Ball 25. The earliest of them is October 8, 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 0 drawings leaves the odds unchanged. Mega Ball 25 is not in the current drawing, so it does not have a current-game chance. 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.
