What the archive shows
Powerball white ball 48 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 94 times. That is 9.8 appearances below 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 48 ranks 58th, tied with 2 other numbers.
The last appearance was November 9, 2026, which is 1 drawings ago. That gap ranks 61st longest in the pool, tied with 3 other numbers. The longest miss lasted 89 drawings, after October 17, 2015 and before it returned on August 27, 2016.
The appearance before the latest one was October 19, 2026, 9 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 15.4 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2016–2025), 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025 each had the most appearances, 10. 2018 had the fewest, 4. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 9 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 November 9, 2026: white balls 13, 34, 41, 45, 48, and Powerball 25, multiplier 2×.
When Powerball white ball 48 was drawn, the other white balls beside it most often were white ball 16 (12 times), white ball 30 (11 times), and white ball 32 (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 16 (7 times), Powerball 24 (7 times), and Powerball 5 (6 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 47 (114 appearances) and white ball 49 (85 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 145 appearances of Powerball white ball 48. The earliest of them is March 17, 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 1 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.
