What the archive shows
Powerball 6 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 52 times. That is 3.1 appearances below 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 6 ranks 16th, tied with 1 other number.
The last appearance was July 1, 2026, which is 57 drawings ago. That gap ranks 3rd longest in the pool. The longest miss lasted 94 drawings, after June 30, 2025 and before it returned on February 7, 2026.
The appearance before the latest one was April 11, 2026, 35 drawings earlier. Across every pair of successive hits, the average distance is 26.7 drawings, and that average includes the drawing that brought the number back.
Among complete calendar years in this set (2016–2025), 2022 had the most appearances, 7. 2018, 2021, and 2024 each had the fewest, 3. In the latest 100 drawings of this set it appeared 2 times, and in the latest 25 it appeared 0 times. Those windows are a recent stretch of drawings already held.
The most recent line was July 1, 2026: white balls 2, 6, 26, 39, 68, and Powerball 6, multiplier 2×.
The white balls drawn most often in the same drawing as Powerball 6 were white ball 39 (9 times), white ball 14 (7 times), and white ball 42 (7 times). Those are companions in the archive, not a combination the game prefers.
The neighboring special balls in this same set: Powerball 5 (61 appearances) and Powerball 7 (48 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 68 appearances of Powerball 6. The earliest of them is June 16, 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 57 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.
