Powerball Number 48

Powerball number 48 as a white ball

In the 1,393 Powerball drawings from January 2, 2016 to October 10, 2026, 48 came up 90 times as one of the five white balls — 6.5% of draws. Pure chance predicts about 100.9 (5 of 69 balls each draw), so it is running 10.9 below that, among the least drawn numbers (rank 63 of 69). In the last 100 draws it appeared 8 times.

It was last drawn on August 3, 2026, 29 draws ago. Its longest run without being drawn was 68 draws. The numbers drawn with it most often: 16 (12×), 53 (11×), 6 (10×), 19 (10×), 30 (10×).

Every draw is random and independent. How often a number came up in the past doesn't make it more or less likely next time — the odds of the jackpot stay 1 in 292.2 million for every ticket. Why we say so.
