Frequency, draw history and statistical context for the number 45 in past Powerball draws.
Since October 7, 2015 · 1,432 draws
Across 1,432 historical Powerball draws, the number 45 has appeared 104 times — that's 7.26% of all draws. That sits within the expected statistical range for a random draw.
These statistics count only draws played with the current Powerball numbers (1–69, Powerball 1–26): the 1,432 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.
Number 45 was last drawn in the latest draw. Whether that makes it "due" is a long-running debate among lottery players — the mathematical answer is that lottery draws are independent events, so a number's history has no influence on the next draw. But the Strategy Lab lets you bias your picks toward or away from overdue numbers if you want to play with that pattern.
