About Powerball
Powerball is one of USA's best-known lotteries, followed by players around the world for its large jackpots and regular draws. To take part you choose 5 main numbers from 1 to 69, plus 1 Powerball from a separate pool. Match all of them and you win the jackpot, which currently stands at an estimated $457 Million.
Lower prize tiers are awarded for matching fewer numbers, so there are several ways to win in every draw. The odds of landing the top prize are around 1 in 292,201,338, and the full prize breakdown for each draw is shown on this page.

Do "hot" and "cold" numbers help?
Our statistics pages show which Powerball numbers have appeared most and least often. They're a fun way to explore the draw history — but every combination has exactly the same chance in a fair draw, so past frequency does not change the odds of any future result. Use them for interest, not as a system.
