Mega Millions Smartpicks are numbers that have been calculated using hot and cold numbers from the 20 most recent draws. The hot numbers are those that have appeared most frequently, while the cold numbers are the ones that have been seen the least. You can see those statistics further down the page, for the main numbers and the Mega Balls.
To create the Smart picks, our formula takes three hot numbers and two cold numbers at random to get the main balls, plus one of the most common Mega Balls. This gives you the top six numbers statistically from recent draws.
Take a look at each Smartpick below to decide whether you want to use any of them when selecting your Mega Millions numbers for the next drawing.
The tables below show how many times each of the hot and cold numbers have appeared in the 20 most recent Mega Millions drawings, and when they were last drawn. Each smart pick has come from these lists.
