AI summary of the month
Powerball in August 2026: number 54 goes from long absence to most drawn
Number 54 had gone 62 draws without appearing when it came up on August 3, and it ended the month with 4 appearances in 14 draws, more than any other number. Number 11 ended an even longer absence on August 31, the month's last draw, after 64 draws.
July's six hottest Powerball numbers came up 5 times and the six coldest 6 times, against 6.1 from chance alone for each. Since January the two groups are exactly level, with 39 hits each against 45.5 from chance: eight months in, being hot or cold has said nothing about the following month.
Number 23 has now missed 75 draws, the longest current absence, and is no longer among the six most drawn. Sums were ordinary, with 13 of the 14 draws inside the usual 120–232 range. Draws are random, and a long absence does not make a number any more likely to come up.

Build a Powerball line around August 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 1,401 Powerball draws from October 7, 2015 up to and including the draw of August 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 1,401 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 August. 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.
