Powerball Number Frequency
On 8/28/2005 the Powerball lottery changed the white ball matrix from 5 of 53 to 5 of 55. In analyzing winning Powerball numbers one should keep this and future matrix changes in mind.
Do you know the value of the white ball drawn most and least often between August 31, 2005 and today? You can find that information at the Powerball lottery site on a page titled Powerball Number Frequency. On that page one will also find similar information on both the Powerball and the Power Play values.
For those that do not wish to bother sorting through all that information here is the condensed version after the February 28, 2007 drawing:
The most frequently drawn white ball: 26, 42, 50 and 55 - each drawn 22 times
The least frequently drawn white ball: 33 - drawn only 6 times
The most frequently drawn Powerball: 14 - drawn 11 times
The least frequently drawn Powerball: 18, 28 and 40 - each drawn 1 time
The most frequently drawn Power Play: 5 - drawn 46 times
The least frequently drawn Power Play: 2 - drawn 28 times
It is our intent to update this information after each Powerball drawing and prior to the next. Please feel free to check and see if we manage to do it.
