The Luckiest State for Mega Millions Winners Is New York

The dream of winning Mega Millions is more like a reality if you live in New York.

A shocking new study has found that the Empire State has the best lotto luck.

The thinktank behind Lucky.me determined this after looking into the number of Mega Millions "big money" winners since 1997 and their home state. It turns out a decent chunk of those lucky souls live here, in New York.

The study found there has been 14 Mega Millions winners from New York State from the past decade alone.

For those who love picking numbers, it turns out that the study determined which numbers are long overdue for a big win. They are 23, 36, 49, 51, and 65.  Unfortunately, they didn't give any hints about the Mega Ball.

Mega Millions are always drawn on Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET.

The report also found that a total of 35 New Yorkers have either claimed a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot since 2003.
