Do Hot Numbers Stay Hot? We Tested It
Powerball specifically: Since Monday draws began in August 2021, a 50-draw window spans about four months of Powerball; before that it took almost six. Recent-window rankings turn over faster than they used to.
We replayed the Powerball archive draw by draw. Before each draw we ranked the white balls by how often they had come up in the previous 20, 50 or 100 draws, took the ten most frequent ("hot") and the ten least frequent ("cold"), and counted how many of them the draw actually produced.
With a 50-draw window, the ten hottest numbers matched an average of 0.742 of the 5 numbers drawn next, over 1,337 draws from June 25, 2016 to October 7, 2026. Any ten numbers are expected to match 0.725. The difference, +0.017 a draw, is within normal chance variation — and none of the three windows, for hot or for cold, is more than two standard errors from chance.
| Hot / cold measured over | Draws tested | Hot 10: matches per draw | Cold 10: matches per draw | Any 10 numbers (chance) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last 20 draws | 1,367 | 0.695 | 0.725 | 0.725 |
| Last 50 draws | 1,337 | 0.742 | 0.724 | 0.725 |
| Last 100 draws | 1,287 | 0.732 | 0.732 | 0.725 |
In Powerball's own history, knowing which numbers were hot told you nothing measurable about the next draw. The hot list above is an accurate description of recent draws — and only that. The same test across all six lotteries →
