What the archive shows
Powerball white ball 17 is tracked here on the current matrix: 5 white balls from 1 through 69 and a Powerball from 1 through 26, from October 7, 2015 through November 11, 2026. Drawings outside that window are in the full NY Open Data file, and they are reported separately because they used a different field.
In these 1,432 drawings it appeared 102 times. That is within 5 percent of the even-split count of 103.8. An even split gives every white ball the same share of those drawings, because five white balls are drawn from the field each time. The median count in this pool of 69 is 102.0. Powerball white ball 17 ranks 34th, tied with 4 other numbers.
The last appearance was September 28, 2026, which is 19 drawings ago. That gap ranks 16th longest in the pool. The longest miss lasted 66 drawings, after February 23, 2022 and before it returned on July 30, 2022.
The appearance before the latest one was September 21, 2026, 3 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 13.9 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2016–2025), 2023 had the most appearances, 11. 2016 had the fewest, 6. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 10 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 2 times. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.
The most recent line was September 28, 2026: white balls 17, 21, 29, 42, 49, and Powerball 7, multiplier 3×.
When Powerball white ball 17 was drawn, the other white balls beside it most often were white ball 9 (13 times), white ball 21 (12 times), and white ball 18 (11 times). A pair that leads this list is a pair that happened. The next drawing still takes five white balls from the full field.
The Powerball values in those same drawings were led by Powerball 1 (7 times), Powerball 20 (7 times), and Powerball 5 (6 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 16 (113 appearances) and white ball 18 (107 appearances). Neighbors are next to each other on the number line only. They are separate balls in the machine.
The full file holds 2,024 drawings and records 154 appearances of Powerball white ball 17. The earliest of them is February 3, 2010. The full-file count mixes older matrices, so it is the wrong denominator for a current-game rate. Use the matrix count above for that comparison.
A gap of 19 drawings leaves the odds unchanged. Each Powerball white ball has a 5-in-69 chance on the next drawing. The hot, cold, and overdue guide and the odds guide explain that at more length. This page is a record of the archive fetched November 12, 2026.
