What the archive shows
Mega Millions white ball 31 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 82 times. That is 14.6 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 31 ranks 3rd.
The last appearance was November 3, 2026, which is 2 drawings ago. That gap ranks 56th longest in the pool, tied with 4 other numbers. The longest miss lasted 40 drawings, after February 22, 2019 and before it returned on July 16, 2019.
The appearance before the latest one was October 16, 2026, 5 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 11.6 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2018–2025), 2025 had the most appearances, 14. 2022 and 2023 each had the fewest, 6. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 5 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 2 times. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.
The most recent line was November 3, 2026: white balls 4, 24, 31, 62, 70, and Mega Ball 3.
When Mega Millions white ball 31 was drawn, the other white balls beside it most often were white ball 2 (11 times), white ball 19 (11 times), and white ball 8 (10 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 24 (6 times), Mega Ball 10 (5 times), and Mega Ball 17 (5 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 30 (73 appearances) and white ball 32 (61 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 242 appearances of Mega Millions white ball 31. The earliest of them is June 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.
A gap of 2 drawings leaves the odds unchanged. Each current Mega Millions white ball has a 5-in-70 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.
