🔥 Colorado Hot & Cold Numbers
These are historical draw-frequency statistics only — not predictions. Every drawing is an independent random event, so past frequency has no effect on future odds. Each number has exactly the same chance of being drawn next time, regardless of how often it's appeared recently.
Over the last 38 Powerball draws Colorado players were eligible for, the most-drawn main numbers were 42 (6x), then 04, 15, 21, 54, 55, 57, 58 and 65 (5x each).
On the cold end for Powerball, the least-drawn main numbers were 43 (not drawn at all). The most-drawn Powerball itself was 09 (4x).
With about 38 draws, most of the gap between "hot" and "cold" is ordinary random variation. Numbers marked 0× were not drawn at all in the window.
