PowerBall predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
Although no one can predict PowerBall numbers with certainty, trends from recent draws can highlight “hot” numbers that have shown frequent appearances. Still, it’s important to understand that each draw is random, and every number combination has an equal chance of being selected.
Recent draw insights (from 22 July to 5 August 2025):
- Recurring main numbers:
- 34 (drawn 4 times)
- 03, 17, 40 (drawn 3 times each)
- 01, 05, 30 (drawn 2 times each)
- Most frequent PowerBall numbers:
- 01 (3 times)
- 05, 15, 19, 13, 14, 02, 17 — each drawn once
PowerBall hot number picks (based on recent frequency):
- Main numbers to consider: 03, 17, 30, 34, 40
- PowerBall numbers to consider: 01, 13, 14
Cold numbers:
- Numbers like 11, 12, 22, and 50 have not featured in recent draws and may be considered “cold” by players who strategize based on omission.
Again, we caution players: PowerBall outcomes are completely random. Trends only serve as observation points — not prediction tools. No system, software, or person can guarantee results.
Losing too much money playing PowerBall? – Here’s when you know you need help
It’s important to gamble responsibly. Lottery games like PowerBall are meant to be entertaining — not financially burdensome. If you find yourself experiencing any of the following, it may be time to seek help:
- Borrowing money or skipping bills to buy tickets
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or frustrated after losing
- Lying about your lottery spending
- Trying to win back losses with more tickets (known as “chasing losses”)
What you can do:
- Set a strict monthly budget for lottery participation
- Speak to someone you trust about your gambling habits
- Reach out to professionals via the National Responsible Gambling Programme (NRGP) on 0800 006 008 (toll-free and confidential)
Gambling is not a guaranteed income strategy. If it stops being fun, it’s time to stop.
