Hot Numbers

The latest Hot Numbers for the USA Powerball lottery are updated here after each draw has taken place. The numbers are those that are drawn the most often, based on records of all previous draws.

  • 61
  • 21
  • 33
  • 69
  • 27
  • 4

There is no guarantee that the numbers will change between any two draws, as they are only likely to change when a number has been drawn fewer or more times than another.

Cold Numbers

Calculated in a similar way, the Cold Numbers for USA Powerball are those that have been drawn the least often and that are therefore seen as the most overdue to be drawn in the next (or an upcoming) draw.

  • 36
  • 42
  • 59
  • 47
  • 68
  • 18

As lotteries are a game of chance, there is no way for any number to truly be 'overdue', as previous draws have no effect on the outcome of any future draw.

Smart Pick Predictions for USA Powerball

LottoDraw.com analyses which winning numbers have won jackpots and other big prizes in previous USA Powerball draws to provide the following prediction for the next draw:

  • 3

  • 24

These numbers will be updated three times each week, after the Monday, Wednesday and Saturday draws have taken place. Please note that the predicted numbers are not guaranteed to win any prize, as, like the Hot & Cold Numbers, they are simply statistical analysis. There is no way of knowing for sure which numbers will be drawn in any lottery game.
