Powerball winning numbers and results

Which Powerball numbers come up most?

We counted every draw since October 7, 2015 (1,416 draws of the current number range). With 1,416 draws, each white ball is expected about 103 times. Some numbers are drawn more and some less, which is exactly what chance looks like.

Do the draws look random?

A chi-square test asks whether the spread of counts is what you would expect from a fair draw. For the white balls the test gives p ≈ 0.15. A p-value in this range (anything above about 0.05) means the counts are entirely consistent with chance, and there is no sign of a number being favoured. That is the result you should expect from a fair game.

• Past draws do not influence future ones. A number that has appeared often is no more likely next time, and one that has been absent is not due. Read about the gambler's fallacy.
• Your chance of the jackpot is the same for every combination. See the Powerball odds calculator.
