The most frequent winning column across the last 20 Mega Millions draws: column 1 (5 times), column 7 (4 times), column 2 (3 times). Data includes draw #2549 of 16.10.2026.
Over these 20 draws, numbers ending in 7 were drawn most often (15 times), numbers ending in 9 — least often (5).
The column table splits the numbers of every Mega Millions draw by their last digit: column 1 collects 1, 11, 21…, column 10 — numbers ending in 0. The winning column is the one holding the most numbers; in KENO-style games it is a separate bet. Clicking a number in the table adds the ball to your combination.

Questions About Columns
Which column wins most often in Mega Millions?
Over the last 20 draws the winning column was most often column 1 — 5 times. The full layout of every draw is in the tables on this page: the winning column is highlighted in green.
What is the winning column?
It is the column holding the most drawn numbers of the draw. In KENO it is a separate bet: guessing the leading column can win regardless of matching the numbers themselves. For other lotteries it is simply a way to see where in the number line the draw clustered.
Numbers with which last digit are drawn most often in Mega Millions?
Over the current period, numbers ending in 7 were drawn most often (15 times), numbers ending in 9 — least often (5 times). Such skews are normal behaviour of randomness on short stretches; the frequency of each specific number is computed by the frequency table.
How do I use columns when picking numbers?
A typical draw scatters across several columns, so a combination where every number ends in the same digit looks atypical — although its odds equal any other. The practical takeaway: spread your numbers across different columns and check the layout with the related breakdowns — by position and by parity.
