Latest drawThursday, 8 October 2026
JackpotA$60,000,000
Top prizeNot won — 3 draws unwon
SourcesOnly Primary (commercial feed) reported this draw, so there is nothing to check it against. Settled 8 Oct 2026, 18:52 UTC.
7 numbers from 1–35, plus 1 from 1–20. 928 draws held here since 2009-01-01 — 443 under the current rules.
Powerball changed its number pool then, which started a new era. Only the 443 draws since count towards number statistics — mixing draws from before a rule change would make any frequency meaningless.

Type the numbers you always play. Has the line ever come up? How close has Powerball come? What has each number done, what does the line look like, and has the same set turned up anywhere else in the world?
Every tool, for this game
Each one opens with Powerball already selected. The line under every title is true of this game’s rules right now — not a promise about its next draw.

In 443 draws every number is expected about 89 times, and a ball favoured by more than 38% over its share would already have shown — see which ones strayed, and how far chance allows.

A number waits 5 draws on average; 4% of the time it waits 15 or more. It is never “due”.

The 7 numbers add up to about 126, give or take 24. Most tickets sit in that bell — and so do most draws.

76.8% of draws contain two numbers side by side. That is the rules talking, not luck.

595 possible pairs, each expected together 15.6 times so far — and about 6 will look “special” by chance alone.

All 35 numbers as a constellation of who appeared with whom — indistinguishable from a shuffled sky.

82% of draws repeat a number from the draw before. A whole draw repeating: 1.4% likely by now.

Sorted, the numbers sit about 4.5 apart on average — and every “spread” you can name is exactly as likely as every other.

It takes about 19 draws for every one of the 35 numbers to appear at least once. The last few are the slow ones.

134,490,400 possible tickets. Every one has a face — and a typicality score you can look up.

Seven independent tests of randomness run live against all 443 draws. Any of them can fail; watch whether they do.

The lowest number lands near 5, the highest near 32. Position is a property of sorting, not of the balls.

7/35 rescaled onto the same axes as every other game here. One law, many machines.

Six documented cases of a beaten lottery. Not one involved patterns in past draws.

What the world believes about 7, 8, 13 and 17 — and what every machine says back.

At 30 million tickets, an average line keeps about 22% of a jackpot it wins. Unpopular numbers keep more — and still lose money.

A full wheel of 10 numbers here is 120 tickets. A guarantee is real; a profit is not.

Five folk claims about 7/35 games, each answered with the closed form that kills it — never a tip for the next draw.

What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 8 October 2026 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 25 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 5% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 88 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 442 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.
Frequency Explorer →Shares 4 of 7 numbers (7, 8, 10, 15) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 November 2025 — its closest relative in 442 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (1 October 2026): 10 carried over. Chance says 82% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 91 — the 7th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 126. Side-by-side numbers: 7–8, 19–20. 77% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →12 had not appeared for 11 draws. A number waits about 5 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →A line like this is played about 2.7× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 8% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈72M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 6 — 2,183 winners, 9% more than the 2.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.

What the top prize has been, draw by draw. It climbs while nobody wins and drops to the floor when somebody does — the sawtooth every rollover game draws.
The jackpot has gone 5 draws without a winner. The typical wait here is 2.7 draws.
Happenedwhat chance predicts
Completed waits between wins, against the geometric law those waits follow if every draw is an independent chance at the jackpot. The law takes its one parameter from the waits themselves, so this compares shape, not level.
