🔥 New York 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 New York players were eligible for, 50 came up most often (6 times). Across 25 Mega Millions draws, 48 led the pack (6 times).
