AI summary of the month

Powerball in January 2026: number 21 supplied most of the hot six's hits

Number 21, the second most drawn Powerball number since October 7, 2015 with 117 appearances, came up 4 times in the 13 draws of January 2026, level with 5 and 63 as the month's most drawn. It also supplied 4 of the 5 hits scored by December's six hottest numbers: 61 came up once, and 23, 32, 33 and 69 not at all.

As a group, that is close to the 5.7 hits chance alone gives the six, and December's six coldest came up 4 times against the same 5.7. One month in, neither group has strayed far from chance.

Two long absences ended: 45 came back on January 12 and 55 on January 19, each after 46 draws without appearing. All 13 draws had sums inside the usual 118–233 range, averaging 175. Draws are random, so none of this says anything about the next draw.

How this archive is calculated

Each count is the number of times a number was drawn in the 1,310 Powerball draws from October 7, 2015 up to and including the draw of January 31, 2026. Hot numbers were drawn most often, cold numbers least often, and overdue numbers had gone the most draws without appearing, counted back from that draw.

These statistics count only draws played with the current Powerball numbers (1–69, Powerball 1–26): the 1,310 draws since October 7, 2015. Older draws used a different set of numbers, so counting them would make the newer numbers look colder than they are.

Lottery draws are independent random events: every number has the same chance in every draw, whatever it did in January. These rankings describe the past and do not predict the next draw. For today's ranking, see the live Powerball hot and cold numbers, updated after every draw.
