Amazon KDP Description

Thirty years of Mega Millions history. More than 3,000 verified drawings. One complete reference.

The Mega Millions Encyclopedia brings together the history, numbers, statistics, patterns, records, and complete drawing archive of one of America’s best-known jackpot games—from its beginnings as The Big Game in 1996 through the modern Mega Millions era.

Inside you'll discover:

3,059 historical drawings from September 1996 through September 2026
Complete Mega Millions winning-number results in a chronological archive
White-ball and Mega Ball frequency statistics
Hot and cold number history, examined in proper statistical context
Seven different rules and number-matrix eras, including the major changes that transformed the game
Longest number droughts, frequent pairs, unusual combinations, sums, consecutive numbers, and drawing-to-drawing repeats
Stories behind remarkable drawings and statistical curiosities hidden in three decades of results
A dedicated Mega Millions Record Book
Year-by-year statistics and highlights
The history of major jackpots and the evolution of Mega Millions
An accessible explanation of lottery mathematics, probability, randomness, streaks, and the gambler’s fallacy

Unlike a simple list of past results, this encyclopedia puts the numbers into context. It explains why comparing numbers across different Mega Millions eras can be misleading, how changes to the number matrix affected historical frequencies and odds, and why fascinating patterns in past drawings do not predict what will happen next.

Whether you follow Mega Millions, enjoy exploring statistics, collect lottery history, or are looking for an unusual gift for a Mega Millions player, this book provides three decades of the game in one substantial reference volume.

Every era. Every number. Every drawing.
