Megaball #26 Trivia

Here's an interesting bit of Lottery Trivia.

In the past three Mega Millions drawings, (Tue May 06, Fri May 3, and Tue Apr 30 2008), the same:

Megaball Number 26

was drawn.

Since the probability of the same number being picked is ( 1/46 ) cubed, or 1 in 97,336, we wondered:

Has any other Megaball
been selected
3 times in a row?


Reviewing our Mega Millions history from January 1 2001 to present, we discovered the:

Answer is Yes.
Megaball Number 41

was picked in the three consecutive drawings (Fri Feb 16, Tue Feb 13, and Fri Feb 9 2007)

However, this event has not yet occurred in Powerball.

Note: Based on the results of our Poll , we decided to recommend all Power & Mega balls in every drawing after Octorber 22, 2007. This change will make these lotteries consistent with the International and other "mega" ball based lotteries.
