PowerBall predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
While the PowerBall is entirely random and there is no way to accurately predict future outcomes, past results often highlight “hot” and “cold” numbers. These can provide interesting insights for players who enjoy analysing trends.
Hot numbers in August 2025
Looking at the most recent draws, a few numbers have been recurring:
- 10 – drawn on 5, 12, and 19 August.
- 48 – appeared twice within August (8 and 12 August).
- 40 – landed on both 5 and 19 August.
- 33 – came up on 15 August, repeating from earlier months.
- 22 – featured on 8, 15, and 19 August.
PowerBall “hot” balls:
- 14, 04, and 17 have appeared multiple times in August.
Cold numbers in August 2025
Some numbers have not appeared in recent draws, making them “cold”:
- 07 – missing since July, only resurfaced in PowerBall Plus on 19 August.
- 21 and 50 – absent from all draws this month.
- PowerBall numbers such as 06 and 09 have not been drawn in August.
Why these are not predictions
Despite these observations, it’s important to stress that every number has the same probability of being drawn in each round. Past frequency does not influence future outcomes. Hot and cold number tracking simply reflects patterns from recent draws and should not be mistaken for reliable forecasting.
