What the archive shows
Powerball 23 is tracked here on the current matrix: the current Powerball field of 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 54 times. That is within 5 percent of the even-split count of 55.1. An even split gives every special ball the same share of those drawings, because one special ball is drawn each time. The median count in this pool of 26 is 54.0. Powerball 23 ranks 13th, tied with 2 other numbers.
The last appearance was November 2, 2026, which is 4 drawings ago. That gap ranks 23rd longest in the pool. The longest miss lasted 106 drawings, after October 11, 2017 and before it returned on October 20, 2018.
The appearance before the latest one was October 19, 2026, 6 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 26.3 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, 9. 2017 had the fewest, 1. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 5 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 2, 2026: white balls 7, 23, 29, 64, 66, and Powerball 23, multiplier 4×.

The neighboring special balls in this same set: Powerball 22 (48 appearances) and Powerball 24 (63 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 72 appearances of Powerball 23. The earliest of them is March 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 4 drawings leaves the odds unchanged. The Powerball has a 1-in-26 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.
