PowerBall predictions: Numbers to look out for in the next draw
While the PowerBall draw is completely random and no system can guarantee predictions, reviewing past results often reveals trends in “hot” and “cold” numbers that players may find interesting.
Hot numbers in August 2025
Looking at the draws from 8 August through 22 August, a few numbers have been recurring more often than others:
- 10 – appeared in three different draws (12, 19 and 22 August).
- 04 – featured on 15 and 22 August.
- 27 – appeared in back-to-back draws (19 and 22 August).
- 22 – consistent across multiple draws earlier in August.
- 48 – landed twice earlier in the month (8 and 12 August).
PowerBall hot picks:
- 18 – drawn twice within August (8 and 22 August).
- 17 – featured in the 19 August draw.
- 04 – appeared earlier in the month in the PowerBall Plus set.
Cold numbers in August 2025
Some numbers have been noticeably absent from recent draws:
- 21 – has not yet made an appearance in August.
- 39 – last appeared on 8 August, not seen since.
- 16 – seen only once this month (12 August in PowerBall Plus).
- 09 – drawn only once in PowerBall Plus, 15 August.
It is important to note that every number carries the same probability of being drawn in any game. Trends such as “hot” and “cold” numbers are purely observational and should not be considered reliable forecasting methods. Playing the PowerBall remains a game of chance, and outcomes cannot be influenced by past results.
