5 of 69 drawn per draw

Samples from the balls with the highest observed counts, weighted by count.

Pick a strategy and generate. Each line shows the counts that made those balls eligible.

Read this before you trust a hot number. Draws are independent: a ball drawn 20 times more than expected is no more likely to appear next time, and an "overdue" ball is not owed anything. Across 69 balls, a few large-looking deviations are exactly what chance produces — which is why this page publishes the chi-square test instead of a top-ten list. This mode exists because people want it, and showing the real counts beats hiding them.

These numbers are not luckier. Every line in this game has identical odds 1 in 292,201,338 for the top prize, however it was chosen (see the derivation). What a generator changes is which other players hold your line, never your chance of winning. How this generator works.

What "hot" and "cold" really mean for Powerball

Every count on this page comes from imported draw history, with the source recorded per draw. A ball's observed count is how often it has actually been drawn; its expected count is what a fair machine would produce over the same number of draws; the z-score is how many standard deviations apart those two are. "Overdue" is simply the number of draws since a ball last appeared.

None of it predicts the next draw. Balls have no memory, and across a whole pool a few z-scores near ±2 are exactly what randomness produces — which is why the chi-square test on this game's full history is published alongside, rather than a top-ten list with no test attached.

Other ways to pick

Same odds, different method — and each one says plainly what it does and does not change.
