“The odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292.2 million,” according to the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). However, some numbers seem to defy the statistic. Interestingly, certain digits repeat more than others among the winning numbers in the Powerball.
For the U.S. Hispanic community, where Powerball has captured the attention of millions, these patterns could mean a strategic advantage. With jackpots in excess of $1 billion, it’s no wonder many are asking: Are there lucky numbers that increase the odds? The answer could lie in the history of lotteries. QueOnnda.com tells you which numbers repeat the most and what experts say about this apparent “coincidence”!
1. Most repeated numbers
According to LottoNumbers.com, these are the top winning Powerball numbers to date:
61 (drawn more than 80 times)
32
63
21
36
As for the red Powerball, the number 24 takes the first place, appearing more frequently in the drawings.
Coincidence? Some experts, such as lottery analyst David C. Johnston, suggest that certain numbers may repeat due to random patterns.
But playing recurring numbers could be an interesting strategy for those who believe in statistics.
2. How to make the best choice?
Although the lottery is a game of chance, The National Lottery suggests some tactics for those looking to increase their odds:
Combine hot and cold numbers: “Hot” numbers are the ones that are repeated the most, while “cold” numbers are the ones that have come up less frequently.
Vary the numerical ranges: Do not limit yourself to a single range (e.g., 1 to 31, which represents days of the month).
Play regularly: More tickets mean more chances, but no guarantee.
In the end, the lottery is a game of luck, but knowing the numbers that are most popular can influence your confidence when choosing
