What the archive shows
Powerball white ball 2 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 104 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 2 ranks 28th, tied with 3 other numbers.
The last appearance was October 31, 2026, which is 5 drawings ago. That gap ranks 45th longest in the pool, tied with 3 other numbers. The longest miss lasted 60 drawings, after May 25, 2019 and before it returned on December 25, 2019.
The appearance before the latest one was September 21, 2026, 17 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 13.8 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, 17. 2017 had the fewest, 4. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 7 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 3 times. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.
The most recent line was October 31, 2026: white balls 2, 4, 18, 50, 56, and Powerball 20, multiplier 3×.
When Powerball white ball 2 was drawn, the other white balls beside it most often were white ball 18 (14 times), white ball 39 (13 times), and white ball 61 (12 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 20 (9 times), Powerball 22 (7 times), and Powerball 26 (7 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 1 (95 appearances) and white ball 3 (115 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 149 appearances of Powerball white ball 2. The earliest of them is May 19, 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 5 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.
