A new feature on the California Lottery website puts your lucky numbers to the test.

State Lottery officials recently added the “Lucky Numbers” website feature, allowing players to enter their lucky numbers and see how often they have hit the jackpot within the last five years.


By entering the lucky numbers on the website, state lottery players can see how often their lucky numbers have hit the Powerball, Mega Millions and Super Lotto Plus jackpots.

For those who don’t have any go-to lottery numbers, researchers at USA Mega and Lotto Numbers analyzed which numbers were the most chosen during lottery drawings.

The California numbers are based on 2,327 drawings and the national ones are based on the last 100 drawings. KTLA’s sister station KRON reported.

The analysis was limited to the top five most drawn numbers for the Powerball, Mega Millions and Super Lotto Plus.

These are the most drawn numbers from California Lottery’s three draw games.
