The most frequently drawn numbers in PowerBall vary for both the white balls and the red Powerball.
1. **White Ball Frequencies**:
- The most commonly drawn white ball numbers over the past eight years include 69, which has been drawn 16 times, and 33, 44, and 38, each drawn 12 times.
- Other frequent white ball numbers include 27, 31, and 36.
2. **Red Powerball Frequencies**:
- The most frequently drawn red Powerball numbers include 4, which appears in nearly 5% of all drawings, and 18 and 21, each drawn approximately 55 times.
- Other frequent red Powerball numbers are 14 and 24, which have been drawn multiple times as well.
3. **Overall Patterns**: Powerball numbers tend to have shorter cold streaks compared to white balls. The 2015 reform expanded the white ball pool to 69 numbers while reducing the Powerball pool to 26, which changed the odds and increased the chances of winning smaller prizes.
These frequencies can help players understand the statistical distribution of numbers and make informed decisions about their ticket selections, though it's important to remember that past performance is not always indicative of future results.
