We've been tracking droughts, streaks, monthly stats and yearly stats among other things. So, I think it would be good to have some fun facts and show record holders for Powerball.
Numbers often go on droughts. Droughts are the number of consecutive Powerball draws your number has NOT been drawn. And the MAXIMUM DRAWING DROUGHT (MDD) is the highest number of consecutive draws your number has NOT been drawn.
| Number | Max Drawing Drought (MDD) | Date of MDD | Average White Number MDD | Placement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 | 111 | 02/10/2018 - 03/02/2019 | 65 | Highest |
| 61 | 40 | 07/29/2020 - 12/12/2020 | 65 | Lowest |
*Averages rounded to closest digit for clarity
| Number | Max Drawing Drought (MDD) | Date of MDD | Average Red Number MDD | Placement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 200 | 09/21/2019 - 08-21-2021 | 117 | Highest |
| 3 | 67 | 01/24/2018 - 09/12/2018 | 117 | Lowest |

On my STATS PER NUMBER
page I introduced a term "Monthly Streaks" because
long DRAWING STREAKS have a tiny chance to happen.
For reference, the longest MONTHLY STREAK for white numbers belongs to
number 32, and it recorded a 11 month drawing streak. On the other hand,
number 9 holds the record for red balls with a 7 month drawing streak.
I'd like to show you the numbers that recorded the longest drawing streaks (LDS)
| Number(s) | Ball Type | Longest Drawing Streak (LDS) | Date of LDS |
|---|---|---|---|
| 69 | White Ball | 4 | 10/11/2017 - 10/21/2017 |
| 24, 21 | Powerball | 3 | 08/01/2020 - 08/08/2020 AND 09/08/2021 - 09/13/2021 |
Although you can check yearly stats for any number on STATS PER NUMBER, I thought it would be good to show you Powerball's best and worst in this category.
One thing to always keep in mind when looking at the Powerball's yearly stats is that starting on August 23, 2021, draws would occur on Monday, in addition to Wednesday and Saturday. Therefore, years after 2021 will most likely have higher numbers than the years coming before 2021.
| Number(s) | Times Drawn In Year | Year | Placement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 37, 24 | 21 | 2022, 2023 | Best |
| 45, 34 | 1 | 2016, 2017 | Worst |
| Number(s) | Times Drawn In Year | Year | Placement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18, 4, 21 | 13 | 2020, 2023, 2024 | Best |
| 14, 16, 12, 15 | 0 | 2017, 2019, 2020, 2020 | Worst |
