Here’s the Number That’s Most “Overdue” for Tomorrow’s Powerball Drawing

Are you going to try your luck at the 1.7 BILLION Powerball drawing tomorrow? It’s going to be one of the biggest lottery jackpots ever. And your odds of hitting it are about 1-in-292 million. But maybe this will help . . .

A website analyzed all the Powerball drawings from the last 10 years. That’s 1,246 drawings since October 7th, 2015. And here are some interesting data points.

Over the past decade of Powerball drawings, the number that’s MOST likely to come up of all the numbers is . . . 61.

The first five numbers of the Powerball drawing can be 1 to 69, and 61 has been drawn 115 times, including in the most recent drawing on Wednesday.

The five most commonly drawn numbers over the past 10 years are: 61 . . . 21 . . . 23 . . . 33 . . . and 69.

The number that’s LEAST likely to be drawn is . . . unlucky number 13. It’s only been drawn 66 times in the last decade.

The five least likely numbers are: 13 . . . 49 . . . 26 . . . 46 . . . and 65.

And the number that’s most “overdue” is 26, which hasn’t been drawn since April of this year.

When it comes to the Powerball number, the most likely number to hit is 4. The three most common Powerballs are 4 . . . 21 . . . and 24.

The least likely Powerball number is 16, which hasn’t been drawn since November of last year.

(Unfortunately, there’s no REAL way to game the system. Even if you can see some patterns in the data, it doesn’t mean playing these numbers will give you an advantage. But it’s fun to think about.)
