What the archive shows
Mega Millions white ball 15 is tracked here on the current matrix: 5 white balls from 1 through 70, from October 31, 2017 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 943 drawings it appeared 72 times. That is 4.6 appearances above the even-split count of 67.4. An even split gives every white ball the same share of those drawings, because five white balls are drawn from the field each time. The median count in this pool of 70 is 67.0. Mega Millions white ball 15 ranks 21st, tied with 2 other numbers.
The last appearance was October 16, 2026, which is 7 drawings ago. That gap ranks 35th longest in the pool, tied with 1 other number. The longest miss lasted 71 drawings, after July 12, 2024 and before it returned on March 21, 2025.
The appearance before the latest one was October 13, 2026, 1 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 13.0 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2018–2025), 2020 and 2022 each had the most appearances, 12. 2025 had the fewest, 5. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 7 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 3 times. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.
The most recent line was October 16, 2026: white balls 2, 15, 31, 41, 68, and Mega Ball 11.
When Mega Millions white ball 15 was drawn, the other white balls beside it most often were white ball 32 (10 times), white ball 37 (9 times), and white ball 53 (8 times). A pair that leads this list is a pair that happened. The next drawing still takes five white balls from the full field.
The Mega Ball values in those same drawings were led by Mega Ball 4 (7 times), Mega Ball 1 (5 times), and Mega Ball 9 (5 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 14 (78 appearances) and white ball 16 (68 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 199 appearances of Mega Millions white ball 15. The earliest of them is May 17, 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.
