What the archive shows
Powerball white ball 66 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 103 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 66 ranks 32nd, tied with 1 other number.
The last appearance was November 2, 2026, which is 4 drawings ago. That gap ranks 49th longest in the pool, tied with 4 other numbers. The longest miss lasted 58 drawings, after May 5, 2025 and before it returned on September 20, 2025.
The appearance before the latest one was August 12, 2026, 35 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 and 2025 each had the most appearances, 15. 2018 and 2020 each had the fewest, 3. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 5 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 1 time. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.
The most recent line was November 2, 2026: white balls 7, 23, 29, 64, 66, and Powerball 23, multiplier 4×.
When Powerball white ball 66 was drawn, the other white balls beside it most often were white ball 67 (13 times), white ball 38 (11 times), and white ball 69 (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 9 (10 times), Powerball 5 (8 times), and Powerball 3 (7 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 65 (94 appearances) and white ball 67 (104 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 103 appearances of Powerball white ball 66. The earliest of them is November 14, 2015. That full-file count matches the matrix count above, which is what you would expect when the ball was not in the older rows.
A gap of 4 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.
