What the archive shows
Mega Millions white ball 50 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 56 times. That is 11.4 appearances below 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 50 ranks 65th.
The last appearance was August 25, 2026, which is 22 drawings ago. That gap ranks 7th longest in the pool, tied with 1 other number. The longest miss lasted 64 drawings, after November 21, 2017 and before it returned on July 6, 2018.
The appearance before the latest one was June 30, 2026, 16 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 16.6 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2018–2025), 2024 had the most appearances, 9. 2018 had the fewest, 3. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 8 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 1 time. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.
The most recent line was August 25, 2026: white balls 7, 10, 47, 48, 50, and Mega Ball 14.
When Mega Millions white ball 50 was drawn, the other white balls beside it most often were white ball 10 (9 times), white ball 47 (7 times), and white ball 26 (6 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 12 (6 times), Mega Ball 25 (5 times), and Mega Ball 24 (4 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 49 (60 appearances) and white ball 51 (54 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 201 appearances of Mega Millions white ball 50. 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 22 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.
