Every number, fully ranked

The default view ranks the entire pool from most to least appearances. Switch pools or sort by current gap and number. Every last-seen date opens the exact result record behind it.

Scope note Appearances and share use the active sample. Current gap and last seen always use the latest current-matrix record, so a short sample never hides a number’s real most recent result.

Powerball number frequency chart

A darker fill means more appearances inside the selected sample. Each light label pairs the number with its exact count. Select any number to reveal its share of draws, last-seen date, and current gap.

Active frequency + current recency

Most frequent numbers and current gaps

Frequency follows the active sample; gaps continue through the full current-matrix archive. Neither list is a recommendation.

Methodology boundary

Powerball number frequency methodology

The default statistics begin on October 7, 2015, when the current 5-white-from-69 plus 1-red-from-26 matrix began. Earlier records stay in the results archive but are excluded here so changes in the number pool do not distort the comparison.

How to read the analysis

What each Powerball statistic means

Each module answers a different historical question. None rates a number or combination as more likely to appear next.

01 / Frequency

What the count measures

Powerball number frequency is the number of selected draws in which a ball appeared. A white ball can appear at most once in a drawing, so its percentage is simply appearances divided by the sample size. The red Powerball comes from a separate pool and is counted separately.

02 / Current gap

What “draws since” means

A current gap counts completed draws since a number last appeared. Zero means it appeared in the newest record in the selected sample. A long gap is descriptive evidence about the archive, not evidence that the ball is “due.”

03 / Sample size

Why 20, 50, and 100 differ

Short samples react quickly to recent results and naturally vary more. Larger samples smooth that variation. Powerball number frequency changes when the sample changes because the question has changed; that does not improve prediction. Use the displayed date range whenever you compare a chart.

04 / Fair comparison

Why older matrices stay out

Earlier Powerball drawings used different white and red number pools. Combining those eras would give lower historical numbers more opportunities to appear than numbers added later. This page starts at the current 5/69 + 1/26 matrix boundary; the results archive still preserves earlier draws.

05 / Draw structure

Why sums, splits, and repeats add context

Sum and spread describe the shape of all five white balls. Odd/even and low/high charts count each possible five-ball mix. Consecutive and repeat rates measure whether a draw contained an adjacent pair or shared any white ball with the immediately preceding result.

06 / Co-occurrence

What a frequent pair measures

A pair count increases when both white balls appear in the same drawing, regardless of their drawn order. The percentage is pair appearances divided by selected draws. A high historical count is a compact archive summary, not a forecast.
