Powerball overdue numbers
Powerball has been drawn as 5 numbers from 69 plus a Powerball from 26 since October 2015. Everything on this page counts only the 1,418 draws since that change.
Does the most overdue number actually turn up?
The longest-waiting number came out in the very next draw 7.8% of the time. Chance alone would put it at 7.2%.
This is the question the page invites, so here is the count rather than a claim. Across 1,418 Powerball draws, the number with the longest wait appeared in the very next draw 110 times — 7.8%. If overdue numbers were no different from any other, you would expect about 7.2%, since 5 of 69 numbers come out each draw. Those two figures are close. What you do with that is up to you.
Every number, longest wait first
