PowerBall predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
While no system can accurately forecast the outcome of a PowerBall draw — each number has the exact same chance of being picked every time — observing recent results can offer players a sense of number frequency patterns.
Looking at the draws from 21 October to 11 November 2025, several trends have emerged:
Hot Numbers
- Main draw: 49, 21, 13, 31, 28
- PowerBall bonus ball: 01, 18, 20
The number 49 has appeared in four out of the last seven PowerBall main draws, making it the hottest number this month. It’s followed closely by 21, which has also surfaced in both PowerBall and PowerBall Plus draws. 13 and 28 are also showing up across both games. As for PowerBall numbers, 01 and 18 have each appeared twice in recent draws, a rare feat for bonus balls.
Cold Numbers
- Main draw: 05, 06, 10, 15
- PowerBall bonus ball: 06, 09, 19
Certain numbers have been absent altogether. Notably, 06 has gone quiet across both the main draw and bonus ball since early October, despite its early-month dominance. 15 and 10 have not made a showing in either game for over a month.
Should I play these hot or cold numbers?
While these trends may be interesting, the reality is that PowerBall is a game of pure chance. Every draw is determined by a certified random number generator, and no past pattern can influence or predict future results.
Each number combination — even one made up entirely of “cold” numbers — has the same probability of being drawn as any other. Be wary of systems or apps that claim to improve your odds — they’re often built on false promises.
For those who enjoy using patterns to guide their picks, hot and cold numbers can add some fun to the experience, but they do not increase your chances of winning.
Losing too much money playing PowerBall? – Here’s when you know you need help

- You are spending more on tickets than you can afford.
- You feel the need to hide your playing habits.
- You keep chasing losses with more bets.
- Playing the lottery affects your work or family responsibilities.
