AI summary of the month
Powerball in May 2026: April's cold numbers outscored the hot ones
April's six coldest Powerball numbers came up 8 times in May's 13 draws, more than the 5.7 that chance alone gives, and 65 alone accounted for 4 of them, making it the month's most drawn number. That took 65 out of the six least drawn numbers since October 7, 2015; 25 now sits there instead. April's six hottest came up 5 times.
After five months of the archive, the previous month's hot six have come up 28 times, exactly the 28 that chance alone gives, and the cold six 21 times. Hot numbers have not stayed hot; they have simply matched chance.
Two long absences ended in May: 44 on May 16 after 68 draws, and number 1 on May 30, the month's last draw, after 71. All 13 draws had sums inside the usual 120–232 range, averaging 196. Draws are random, so none of this carries over to June.

Build a Powerball line around May 2026's three hottest numbers, 61, 21, and 64. The generator picks the rest — a fun way to choose, not a way to predict.
Each count is the number of times a number was drawn in the 1,361 Powerball draws from October 7, 2015 up to and including the draw of May 30, 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 1,361 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 May. 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.
