Updated January 2024
With jackpots that regularly reach past the billions, it's not surprising that Mega Millions is so popular in Texas. When it comes to playing Mega Millions, there are all sorts of different ways people like to pick their numbers. Some people choose numbers for symbolic reasons, such as important family birthdays or anniversaries. Others believe that playing the hottest or coldest numbers of a lottery will help them beat the odds. But what exactly are hot and cold numbers, and is there really any logic behind playing them?
Read on for our full breakdown of the most common Mega Millions numbers and whether or not you could benefit from playing them.

Others think its smartest to play the coldest numbers because those are the ones that are most "overdue" to be drawn. Either way, here are the most frequent Mega Millions numbers to date:
