PBPowerball Number Checker

Independent unofficial free

292,201,338 combinations

Never drawn isn’t the same as due.

Every draw is independent. A set that has sat untouched for ten years has exactly the same 1 in 292,201,338 chance as the one that hit last Saturday. This is a tool for looking at what has happened — not a forecast of what will.

Five white balls and a Powerball. Nothing you type leaves your device, there is no account, and saved tickets score themselves once the draw lands.

Powerball number generator

A random Powerball number generator with one twist: it only draws from the sets that have never come up. This is random sampling, not prediction — a never-drawn set has exactly the same odds as one that hit last week.

Draw history

What makes this different

Most number pickers just roll dice. This one starts from the complete list: every one of the 292,201,338 ways to fill out a Powerball slip, generated once and indexed. Each draw crosses one set off that list. When you ask for picks, they come only from what's left, and when you type in your own numbers you get a straight answer about whether they've ever come up.

It's a fun way to explore the game, not a way to beat it. A set that has never been drawn has exactly the same 1 in 292,201,338 chance as the one that hit last Saturday.

Nothing to sign up for, nothing collected

There's no account and no server on the other end. Numbers you check and tickets you save live only in your own browser, and you can clear them any time with the "Clear all" button. Come in, play around, take your numbers, and leave.

Play responsibly

Lottery tickets are entertainment, not an investment. Decide what you're comfortable spending before you buy, treat it as the cost of a bit of fun, and never chase losses. You must be 18 or older (21 in some states) to play. If gambling stops being fun for you or someone close to you, free confidential help is available 24/7 in the US at 1-800-GAMBLER.

Questions people ask

How many Powerball combinations are there?
292,201,338: 11,238,513 ways to choose five white balls from 69, times 26 Powerballs.

Does picking a never-drawn combination improve my odds?
No. Draws are independent, so every combination has the same chance every time. This is for curiosity and fun.

Is this a random Powerball number generator?
Yes. The generator picks uniformly at random, with the one restriction that it skips combinations already drawn since October 2015 — about 1,400 of the 292,201,338. That is a fact about history, not an edge: the numbers it gives you have exactly the same chance as any others.

Has a jackpot combination ever repeated?
Not in the current format. The same five white balls have occasionally reappeared with a different Powerball, and the checker will tell you when that's the case.

Do you store my numbers?
No. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. Saved tickets live in your browser's local storage on your device only.

Where do the results come from?
Published draw results for the 69/26 format that began October 7, 2015, compiled independently. Always confirm winning numbers with your state lottery before acting on anything here.

Is this affiliated with Powerball?
No. This is an independent, unofficial tool with no connection to Powerball, MUSL, or any state lottery.
