What the archive shows

Mega Ball 7 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 9 times. That is 2.0 appearances above 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 7 ranks 5th, tied with 1 other number.

The last appearance was May 29, 2026, which is 47 drawings ago. That gap ranks 6th longest in the pool. The longest miss is the one still open at the end of this set: 47 drawings since May 29, 2026. That open stretch is the longest miss in the set.

The appearance before the latest one was May 26, 2026, 1 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 11.0 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 5 appearances in 2025 and 4 appearances in 2026. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 6 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 May 29, 2026: white balls 19, 24, 47, 59, 65, and Mega Ball 7.

The white balls drawn most often in the same drawing as Mega Ball 7 were white ball 1 (3 times), white ball 21 (3 times), and white ball 59 (3 times). Those are companions in the archive, not a combination the game prefers.

The neighboring special balls in this same set: Mega Ball 6 (7 appearances) and Mega Ball 8 (7 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 101 appearances of Mega Ball 7. The earliest of them is July 23, 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 47 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.
