Unveiling The Mystery: Mega Millions Lottery Numbers Analysis Revealed

Is there any secret to winning the lottery? The short answer is no - but here's a nifty tidbit to those playing the Mega Millions Lottery: What if there are numbers that come up more often than others? These "hot numbers" were calculated over the last 7 years using computers, statistics, and smarty-pants math people.

The first number is the actual Mega Millions lottery ball. Behind the number is the amount of times it's been drawn in the last 7 years:
#14 (52x)
#17 (51x)
#10 (38x)
#31 (38x)
#38 (38x)
Mega Ball #22 (32x)

Using this information, one could argue that a "hot ticket" could be made up of 14, 17, 10, 31, 38, and MB 22.
