PowerBall predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
PowerBall draws are fully random and cannot be predicted, but analysing recent draw patterns helps illustrate how the number pool has behaved over the past month.
These observations carry no advantage in improving odds but offer insight into the trends visible in draws from 31 October to 25 November 2025.
1. High-frequency numbers in recent draws
A number of balls have shown repeated activity across multiple draws:
- 28 — appeared on 4 Nov, 7 Nov (PB), 14 Nov Plus, 18 Nov, 25 Nov (PB), and 25 Nov Plus.
- 49 — featured on 31 Oct, 7 Nov, 11 Nov, and 21 Nov.
- 50 — consistent across 14 Nov Plus, 18 Nov PB, and 21 Nov PB.
- 15 — reappeared on 21 Nov (Plus) and 25 Nov (PB).
- 23 — active on 18 Nov PB, 25 Nov Plus.
- 32 — seen in the 14 Nov PB, 18 Nov Plus, and 21 Nov Plus draws.
- 17 — recurring on 11 Nov PB, 17 Nov Plus, and 21 Nov Plus.
These high-frequency numbers indicate short-term clustering rather than increased probability.
2. Strong cluster formations
PowerBall often produces cluster sequences — groups of numbers appearing close together or repeating in combinations:
- 28–32–49–50 appeared frequently across multiple draws in November.
- 15–24–28–31–37 formed a notable cluster in the 25 November PB draw.
- 17–21–22–28–39 were active across several Plus draws in early–mid November.
- 30–42–45–50 appeared as a group on 18 November PB and again across other draws in varying combinations.
Cluster behaviour is common in large-number lotteries but has no predictive value.
3. Overdue numbers that have shown limited activity
Certain numbers have been less frequent:
- 02, 03, 04, 06, 10, 12, 14, 18, 26, 27, 29, 33, 34, 35, 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 48
Some of these last appeared in the 11–18 November cycle but have been largely absent since.
An “overdue” number is simply a number that has not shown up recently — not one that is “due” to appear.
4. PowerBall (special ball) behaviour
The PowerBall outcomes from the last several draws show:
- 16 has appeared in both PB and PB Plus in the final week (25 Nov PB + 25 Nov Plus), making it the most active recent PB ball.
- 19, 18, 13, and 10 also showed regular rotation.
- 01, 03, 06, and 20 have appeared less frequently.
Again, these are descriptive observations, not predictions.
Important reminder
PowerBall draws use independent, randomised ball machines. That means:
- No past draw affects a future draw
- No number becomes “due”
- Clusters and patterns occur naturally in randomness
- Frequency tracking is informative but not predictive
All predictions must be understood as non-scientific trends, not winning strategies.
