Frequency, draw history and statistical context for the number 7 in past Powerball draws.
Since October 7, 2015 · 1,432 draws
Across 1,432 historical Powerball draws, the number 7 has appeared 97 times — that's 6.77% of all draws. That's 7% below the expected rate for a uniformly random draw, putting it among the cold numbers.
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 7 was last drawn 4 draws ago. 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.
