Latest drawWednesday, 21 October 2026
SourcesOnly Primary (commercial feed) reported this draw, so there is nothing to check it against. Settled 22 Oct 2026, 05:40 UTC.
5 numbers from 1–41, plus 1 from 1–6. 1,888 draws held here since 2010-04-07.
Your numbers, read by every tool
Type the numbers you always play. Has the line ever come up? How close has Megabucks Plus come? What has each number done, what does the line look like, and has the same set turned up anywhere else in the world?
Every tool, for this game
Each one opens with Megabucks Plus already selected. The line under every title is true of this game’s rules right now — not a promise about its next draw.

In 1,888 draws every number is expected about 230 times, and a ball favoured by more than 25% over its share would already have shown — see which ones strayed, and how far chance allows.

A number waits 8 draws on average; 4% of the time it waits 25 or more. It is never “due”.

The 5 numbers add up to about 105, give or take 25. Most tickets sit in that bell — and so do most draws.

41.8% of draws contain two numbers side by side. That is the rules talking, not luck.

820 possible pairs, each expected together 23.0 times so far — and about 8 will look “special” by chance alone.

All 41 numbers as a constellation of who appeared with whom — indistinguishable from a shuffled sky.

50% of draws repeat a number from the draw before. A whole draw repeating: 90.7% likely by now.

Sorted, the numbers sit about 7.0 apart on average — and every “spread” you can name is exactly as likely as every other.

It takes about 34 draws for every one of the 41 numbers to appear at least once. The last few are the slow ones.

4,496,388 possible tickets. Every one has a face — and a typicality score you can look up.

Seven independent tests of randomness run live against all 1,888 draws. Any of them can fail; watch whether they do.

The lowest number lands near 7, the highest near 35. Position is a property of sorting, not of the balls.

5/41 rescaled onto the same axes as every other game here. One law, many machines.

Six documented cases of a beaten lottery. Not one involved patterns in past draws.

What the world believes about 7, 8, 13 and 17 — and what every machine says back.

At 30 million tickets, an average line keeps about 2% of a jackpot it wins. Unpopular numbers keep more — and still lose money.

A full wheel of 10 numbers here is 252 tickets. A guarantee is real; a profit is not.

Five folk claims about 5/41 games, each answered with the closed form that kills it — never a tip for the next draw.

This is a without-replacement ball game; the Digit Laboratory is for Pick 3 and Pick 4.
Not for this game
The Chernoff Map reads the straight tier of a digit game, which counts tickets on one exact number; a ball game has no such row.

What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 21 October 2026 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 69 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 94% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 230 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 1,887 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.
Frequency Explorer →Shares 3 of 5 numbers (17, 29, 36) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 August 2025 — its closest relative in 1,887 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (19 October 2026): 36 carried over. Chance says 50% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (17% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 111 — the 58th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 105. No two numbers side by side. 42% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →29 had not appeared for 29 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →A line like this is played about 1.1× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →What the top prize has been, draw by draw. It climbs while nobody wins and drops to the floor when somebody does — the sawtooth every rollover game draws.
