Picking your own lottery numbers? These are the most common Mega Millions, Powerball draws

The News Journal

A sign shows the current Mega Millions and Powerball lottery jackpots as a customer purchases Mega Millions lottery tickets at a retailer in Arlington, Virginia Monday.

With the largest jackpot in U.S. history on the table this week, it may well be time to apply some statistical analysis to your lottery picks.

These are the most frequently drawn numbers for both Mega Millions and Powerball, according to the Delaware Lottery.

Of course, just because a number has been drawn more times in the past does not mean it will give you an advantage. All numbers have an equal chance of being drawn any given night.

The numbers are fun to look at anyway.
