The first Mega Millions drawing was on September 6, 1996. The original name was "The Big Game" and was
|
||||
rebranded to Mega Millions in May 2002.
|
||||
|
||||
However, each game has undergone rule changes that have altered the pool of numbers available for the main
|
||||
(white) balls and their respective game balls as well. Due to this, the historical information used to
|
||||
analyze the draws should start at the most recent rule change date.
|
||||
|
||||
**The most recent change for Powerball was on October 4, 2015, when the main ball pool increased from 59 to 69
|
||||
numbers and the Powerball pool reduced from 35 to 26 numbers.**
|
||||
|
||||
**The most recent change for Mega Millions was on April 5, 2025, when the Megaball ball pool was decreased from
|
||||
25 to 24 numbers as well as the addition of a 10x multiplier.**
