What the archive shows
Mega Millions white ball 43 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 77 times. That is 9.6 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 43 ranks 8th.
The last appearance was September 15, 2026, which is 16 drawings ago. That gap ranks 16th longest in the pool, tied with 1 other number. The longest miss lasted 46 drawings, after October 27, 2023 and before it returned on April 9, 2024.
The appearance before the latest one was September 8, 2026, 2 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 11.9 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2018–2025), 2019 had the most appearances, 12. 2022, 2023, and 2025 each had the fewest, 7. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 11 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 2 times. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.

The Mega Ball values in those same drawings were led by Mega Ball 13 (8 times), Mega Ball 6 (6 times), and Mega Ball 22 (6 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 42 (79 appearances) and white ball 44 (67 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 194 appearances of Mega Millions white ball 43. The earliest of them is June 14, 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.
