What the archive shows
Powerball white ball 68 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 99 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 68 ranks 44th, tied with 2 other numbers.
The last appearance was September 19, 2026, which is 23 drawings ago. That gap ranks 10th longest in the pool. The longest miss lasted 67 drawings, after September 18, 2024 and before it returned on February 24, 2025.
The appearance before the latest one was August 24, 2026, 11 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 14.4 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, 16. 2021 had the fewest, 5. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 4 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 September 19, 2026: white balls 18, 30, 41, 45, 68, and Powerball 10, multiplier 2×.
When Powerball white ball 68 was drawn, the other white balls beside it most often were white ball 63 (11 times), white ball 3 (10 times), and white ball 17 (10 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 24 (7 times), Powerball 4 (6 times), and Powerball 5 (6 times).
The neighboring white balls in this same set: white ball 67 (104 appearances) and white ball 69 (117 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 99 appearances of Powerball white ball 68. The earliest of them is October 10, 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 23 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.
