Have those numbers ever shown up in a real lottery like Powerball and-or Mega Millions?

A lotto game, including Powerball and Mega Millions, selects numbers from a specific range, such as 1 to 39 or 1 to 49 or 1 to 53. Each lotto system can have a different range of numbers. Also, the Powerball and Mega Millions both have separate ranges of numbers for the last number of a draw.

Powerball chooses 5 numbers from the range 1 through 59, and then the special Powerball number is from 1 through 35.

Mega Millions chooses 5 numbers from the range 1 through 75, and then the special Mega number is from 1 through 15.

It is important to remember that any set of numbers that fit the criteria is equally likely to be the winning numbers for a particular draw. Each game takes great care to ensure that the results are completely random.
