Australian Powerball History and Statistics
Explore stored Powerball draws, number frequencies, Division 1 results and the history behind the current Australian game.
Powerball statistics from the MLL draw history
These figures are calculated from confirmed current-format Australian Powerball draws stored by the MLL Lottery Data Manager, beginning with Draw 1144 on 19 April 2018.
The page will show the exact number of stored draws once the draw history loads.
Main number frequency
Each draw contains seven main numbers from 1 to 35. The count below shows how often each number appeared in the selected draw history.
A higher count only describes the confirmed draws included in the selected history. It does not make that number more likely next time.
Powerball number frequency
The Powerball comes from its own 1 to 20 pool, so it is counted separately from the seven main numbers.
The same printed number can appear as both a main number and the Powerball because the two pools are separate.

Australian Powerball history
Powerball started in Australia in 1996. The game has changed since then, so older results should not be mixed blindly with statistics from the current format.
| Milestone | What changed |
|---|---|
| 1996 | Australian Powerball began. |
| 2018 | The game moved to the current seven main numbers from 1–35 plus one Powerball from 1–20 format. |
| February 2024 | A $200 million draw set the Australian lottery jackpot record. |
| 2026 | Australian Powerball marked 30 years. |
What these statistics can and cannot tell you
They can show what happened. You can count appearances, compare main numbers with Powerballs, see how often Division 1 was won across the stored draws and follow recent rollover runs.
But they cannot tell you what will happen next. Every valid combination still has the same chance before a draw. A number that has appeared often is not more likely to appear again, and a number that has been missing is not “due”.
Australian Powerball statistics FAQs
How many Australian Powerball draws are included?
The total is shown at the top of this page and comes directly from the MLL Data Manager. This page is locked to the current 7-from-35 plus 1-from-20 era, beginning with Draw 1144 on 19 April 2018.
Do the most common Powerball numbers have a better chance next draw?
No. Frequency describes past draws. It does not change the probability of a valid number in the next independent draw.
Why are main numbers and Powerballs counted separately?
They come from separate pools. Australian Powerball draws seven main numbers from 1–35 and one Powerball from 1–20.
Can the same number be a main number and the Powerball?
Yes. The two pools are separate, so the same printed value can appear in both parts of one result.
Why not combine every Powerball draw since 1996 in one frequency table?
The game format has changed. Mixing different number ranges can distort the comparison, so statistics should be tied to the rules used for those draws.
