Halloween Lottery Luck: North America’s Winning and Losing Numbers
Halloween is approaching, and lottery players across North America are hoping to break the curse and land a life-changing jackpot. Casino Guru USA examined US and Canadian lottery databases to determine the luckiest and unluckiest numbers to play during this spooky season.
The luckiest white ball lottery number in the US is 56, drawn 13 times in Halloween week throughout the history of Powerball and Mega Millions. The unluckiest white ball lottery numbers are 64 and 65, with only one draw each. The luckiest special ball number is 20, drawn 7 times in total, while the unluckiest is 18, having never been drawn during Halloween week.
Indiana is the luckiest state for a Halloween lottery win with two winning tickets sold. The luckiest main ball number in Canada is 29, with 23 appearances out of 125 draws. The unluckiest main ball number is 27, with just 8 draws in total. The luckiest special ball number in Canada is 31, with its 6 appearances 176% higher than expected. The unluckiest special ball numbers are 4, 19, 29, 34, 35, and 36, with not a single draw between them in Halloween week.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
