The most- and least-drawn Powerball numbers across the 15 most recent draws. “Hot” and “cold” describe what has already happened; they don’t make a number more or less likely next time.

Powerball draws three nights a week, so a hot or cold run here spans several weeks of draws, and short streaks are common. The lists below show which numbers have landed most and least often lately, nothing about the next draw; the Powerball has its own 1 to 26 pool.

Questions people ask

Are hot Powerball numbers more likely to be drawn next?
No. Every Powerball draw is independent, so a number that has appeared often lately is neither more nor less likely to appear next time. Hot and cold only describe what has already been drawn.
What does a cold Powerball number mean?
A cold number is simply one that has appeared less often, or not at all, across the recent draws shown here. It carries no memory into the next draw, so cold does not make a number closer to appearing.
