How to read these stats

Loading the latest drawings…

So treat "hot" and "cold" as a fun look back, not a tip sheet. These counts don't make any number more or less likely next drawing. Anyone selling a "system" built on them is selling the gambler's fallacy.

The Powerball (1–26)

How Powerball works

The essentials, the real odds, and where the money sits.

A Powerball play costs $2. You pick five main numbers from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball from 1 to 26. Drawings are held Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. To win the jackpot you must match all five main numbers plus the Powerball — odds of about 1 in 292.2 million. But eight smaller prize tiers pay out on far better odds, and matching just the Powerball alone returns $4.

Common questions

Do "hot" numbers have a better chance of being drawn?

No. Each drawing is independent, so a number that has come up often has exactly the same chance next time as one that hasn't. The frequency counts on this page describe the past; they don't predict the future.

Are "cold" numbers due to hit?

Also no — that's the same gambler's fallacy in reverse. A number being drawn less often doesn't build up any pressure to appear. Over a long enough run the counts even out on their own, not because any single draw is "owed."

Why do the stats only go back to October 2015?

Powerball changed its number pools then — from 5/59 + 1/35 to today's 5/69 + 1/26. Mixing the eras would distort the counts, so we only include draws under the current format to keep every number comparable.

Where does this data come from?

Official winning numbers published by the New York State Gaming Commission, refreshed after each drawing. The counts are recomputed from the full draw history every time the data updates.
