About
Features the Mega Millions winning numbers and associated Jackpot information spanning from late 2017 through early 2024. This collection of historical draw results is valuable for statistical analysis, allowing researchers, statisticians, and lottery enthusiasts to examine trends and frequencies of winning combinations. The data reflects draws conducted following the adjustment of the white ball number pool size.
Columns
The data is structured with 10 distinct columns:
- drawdate: The specific date when the lottery draw occurred.
- ball1 through ball5: The five primary white ball winning numbers drawn.
- megaball: The Mega Ball winning number (sometimes referred to as white ball 6). The minimum value observed is 1, and the maximum is 25.
- megaplier: The multiplier applied to the draw (sometimes referred to as white ball 7). Values range from 2 to 5.
- jackpot_estimated: The estimated financial amount of the grand prize for that specific draw.
- jackpot_winner: A boolean field indicating whether a winning ticket was claimed for the jackpot prize in that draw (True or False).
Distribution
The information is available in a comma-separated values (CSV) file format, titled
megamillions_winning_numbers.csv, and measures approximately 33.55 kB. The structure consists of 10 columns and contains 648 valid records of draw data. Data integrity appears high, with 100% of records being valid and no missing or mismatched entries observed across the fields.Usage
Ideal applications include detailed statistical analysis and pattern recognition related to lottery outcomes. It is highly suitable for exploratory data analysis, as well as developing advanced modelling techniques like Deep Learning or Gradient Boosting to study numerical trends and frequencies.
Coverage
The temporal scope extends from October 31, 2017, up to January 12, 2024. The data specifically focuses on Mega Millions lottery drawings held after the rule change that adjusted the white ball number pool from 75 down to 70.
