Does the Powerball Draw Look Random?
A fair draw does not give every number the same count — it gives counts that wobble around an expected value by a predictable amount. This is that check, for each Powerball pool.
Powerball specifically: Powerball is the cleanest game on the site to analyse: its 5/69 + 1/26 matrix did not change once in our archive, so every table here compares like with like from the first draw to the last.
Over 1,387 draws since January 2, 2016, each of the 69 white balls should come up about 100.5 times, give or take 9.7. The real counts run from 76 (13) to 127 (21). 63 of the 69 numbers sit within two standard deviations of that expectation — in a random draw about 95% would — and a chi-square test across all of them gives p = 0.10.
The spread between the most- and least-drawn numbers is the size random chance routinely produces. It is not evidence that any number is favoured.
Red Powerball: 1,387 draws, expected 53.3 per number; p = 0.47. Within normal random variation.
| Pool | Draws | Expected per number | Most drawn | Least drawn | Within 2 SD | Chi-square test |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| White balls 5 of 69 | 1,387 since Jan 2016 | 100.5 ± 9.7 | 127 (21) | 76 (13) | 63 of 69 | p = 0.10 |
| Red Powerball 1 of 26 | 1,387 since Jan 2016 | 53.3 ± 7.2 | 68 (14) | 40 (16) | 25 of 26 | p = 0.47 |
A p-value is the chance a perfectly fair draw would look at least this uneven. Anything above about 0.05 is ordinary. How the test works, and the results for all six games →
