PowerBall Predictions

Find the latest PowerBall prediction for tonight's draw. The predicted numbers are taken from a statistical analysis of previous draws and are presented below ahead of every game. You can also see the most recent prediction to see how many numbers were matched.

Calculating the Predictions

ZA.National-Lottery.com has developed a way of calculating PowerBall predictions based on statistics from previous draws. By looking at the winning numbers from the most recent draw and then looking back in time to see when they last appeared, a prediction can be generated that aligns with historical results. Here is exactly how the predictions are worked out:

• Start with the results from the most recent draw
• Go back to any previous PowerBall draw that shared any of those winning numbers
• Look at the draws that immediately followed and count the frequency of every number that appeared
• Rank all the numbers to find the hottest and coldest numbers
• Combine the most common and least common numbers to get a prediction for the next draw

The numbers analysed only take into account the main PowerBall draws and not PowerBall Plus. It is up to you whether you use the predictions, but you should remember that these numbers are only provided as a statistical aid. There can be no guarantee that the numbers generated will appear in the next draw. Every draw is a separate event and the odds of winning are the same regardless of which numbers you choose.

Taking a look at the most recent PowerBall prediction, for the draw on Friday 29 November, you can see that no predicted number(s) appeared in the winning line.

Visit the PowerBall Results page to view all the winning numbers from the last draw, along with a prize breakdown. You’ll be able to see how accurate the prediction for the next draw has been immediately after it takes place.

Choose Your PowerBall Numbers

You can choose your numbers for the next draw based on these predictions or in several other ways. Look through the Statistics page for more information about number frequencies from all previous draws.

Alternatively, you can use the Lucky Number Generator to create a random set of five main numbers from 1 to 50 and a PowerBall from 1 to 20. You can select a Quick Pick option when you play in-store or online, or use your favourite numbers.
