Rules changed on 2015-10-07
Powerball changed its number pool then, which started a new era. Only the 1,432 draws since count towards number statistics — mixing draws from before a rule change would make any frequency meaningless.
Your numbers, read by every tool
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.
Frequency Explorer
In 350 draws every number is expected about 32 times, and a ball favoured by more than 70% over its share would already have shown — see which ones strayed, and how far chance allows.
Gap & “Overdue” Tracker
A number waits 11 draws on average; 5% of the time it waits 33 or more. It is never “due”.
Sum Distribution
The 5 numbers add up to about 140, give or take 34. Most tickets sit in that bell — and so do most draws.
Consecutive Numbers Surprise
32.5% of draws contain two numbers side by side. That is the rules talking, not luck.
Harmony Matrix
1,485 possible pairs, each expected together 2.4 times so far — and about 15 will look “special” by chance alone.
Number Constellation
All 55 numbers as a constellation of who appeared with whom — indistinguishable from a shuffled sky.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu
39% of draws repeat a number from the draw before. A whole draw repeating: 1.7% likely by now.
Delta Space
Sorted, the numbers sit about 9.3 apart on average — and every “spread” you can name is exactly as likely as every other.
The other 43 tools for Powerball
Coverage Race
It takes about 49 draws for every one of the 55 numbers to appear at least once. The last few are the slow ones.
Draw Fingerprints
146,107,962 possible tickets. Every one has a face — and a typicality score you can look up.
Randomness Observatory
Seven independent tests of randomness run live against all 350 draws. Any of them can fail; watch whether they do.
Positional Ribbons
The lowest number lands near 9, the highest near 47. Position is a property of sorting, not of the balls.
Cross-Lottery Mirror
5/55 rescaled onto the same axes as every other game here. One law, many machines.
Six true stories
Six documented cases of a beaten lottery. Not one involved patterns in past draws.
Cultural Numbers Atlas
What the world believes about 7, 8, 13 and 17 — and what every machine says back.
The Unpopular Numbers Edge
At 30 million tickets, an average line keeps about 12% of a jackpot it wins. Unpopular numbers keep more — and still lose money.
Wheel Workshop
A full wheel of 10 numbers here is 252 tickets. A guarantee is real; a profit is not.
Myth Rebuttal
Five folk claims about 5/55 games, each answered with the closed form that kills it — never a tip for the next draw.

Draws of this game
This game draws more than once. Each draw is its own record, read on its own: mixing them would put one draw’s numbers above another draw’s prize table.
