What the archive shows
Mega Millions white ball 29 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 69 times. That is within 5 percent of 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 29 ranks 28th, tied with 2 other numbers.
The last appearance was August 28, 2026, which is 21 drawings ago. That gap ranks 9th longest in the pool, tied with 1 other number. The longest miss lasted 95 drawings, after August 1, 2025 and before it returned on July 3, 2026.
The appearance before the latest one was July 3, 2026, 16 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 13.3 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2018–2025), 2023 had the most appearances, 15. 2021 and 2025 each had the fewest, 5. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 2 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 1 time. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.

The full file holds 2,556 drawings and records 214 appearances of Mega Millions white ball 29. The earliest of them is May 28, 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.
