What the archive shows
Mega Millions white ball 59 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 71 times. That is 3.6 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 59 ranks 24th, tied with 1 other number.
The last appearance was September 4, 2026, which is 19 drawings ago. That gap ranks 13th longest in the pool, tied with 1 other number. The longest miss lasted 58 drawings, after March 10, 2023 and before it returned on October 3, 2023.
The appearance before the latest one was August 18, 2026, 5 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 13.1 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2018–2025), 2018 and 2023 each had the most appearances, 10. 2024 had the fewest, 5. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 10 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 September 4, 2026: white balls 6, 26, 34, 59, 61, and Mega Ball 24.
When Mega Millions white ball 59 was drawn, the other white balls beside it most often were white ball 39 (9 times), white ball 34 (8 times), and white ball 16 (7 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 7 (7 times), Mega Ball 18 (7 times), and Mega Ball 2 (5 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 58 (76 appearances) and white ball 60 (58 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 95 appearances of Mega Millions white ball 59. The earliest of them is November 26, 2013. 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.
