The Most Likely Numbers to Be Drawn for Tonight's Mega Millions

In case you haven't heard (or are living under a rock), the Mega Millions jackpot is at a whopping $1.6 billion for tonight. Can you imagine? If you take the lump sum, you're still winning about $905 million. I wouldn't complain.

So I did some research to see if there are any strategies I should follow, and look what I found on CBS Chicago: there are actually some Mega Millions numbers that drawn more common than others. This is based on the past 102 drawings, so there's some statistical analysis behind it:

Are you ready?

The most commonly drawn numbers are 1, 2, 28, 70 14, 17, 42.

The number 1 has been chosen 18 times
The numbers 2, 28, and 70 have been chosen 12 times
The numbers 14, 17, and 42 have been drawn 11 times.

Of course, now you need the Mega ball too, right?

The most common Mega Ball is 22 or 9 (both were drawn 7 times).

So, when heading to the store to get your tickets for tonight's record drawing, keep this in mind.

Now, on the flip side: we found the least common numbers to be drawn over the past 102 drawings as well.

Ready for it?

The least common numbers are: 50, 63, 57, 36, 09. In fact, the number 50 has only been chosen twice (the others on that list came up three times). By the way, the least common Mega Ball number is 5.

Of course, good luck tonight! You'll know I won if you don't hear me on the air tomorrow morning.
