PowerBall Plus Statistics: Hot, Cold & Overdue Numbers
Welcome to South Africa's most detailed PowerBall Plus statistics hub. Every table below is built from 155 verified official draws, from 28 March 2025 to 18 September 2026, covering PowerBall Plus hot numbers, PowerBall Plus cold numbers, currently overdue numbers, and a complete PowerBall Plus number frequency breakdown for both the main 1–50 pool and the separate 1–20 PowerBall pool. PowerBall Plus is drawn from its own independent machine, separate from the main PowerBall, so these SA PowerBall Plus statistics are tracked and reported entirely on their own. They're for information and entertainment — past results never predict future draws.
PowerBall Plus is the add-on game to South Africa's main PowerBall: players use the identical five numbers from 1–50 and one PowerBall from 1–20 that they chose for their main PowerBall ticket, and those same numbers are entered into a second, completely independent draw with its own separate prize pool. PowerBall Plus is drawn immediately after the main PowerBall, twice a week — every Tuesday and Friday — by Ithuba (Sizekhaya Holdings) under licence from the National Lotteries Commission. Below you'll find the current PowerBall Plus hot numbers and PowerBall Plus cold numbers, a full PowerBall Plus frequency chart, currently overdue numbers, hot and cold PowerBall (bonus ball) numbers from the separate 1–20 pool, and a breakdown of common number patterns — all calculated from the PowerBall Plus draw history alone.
Before diving in, it's worth being upfront about what these PowerBall Plus statistics can and can't do. They are an honest description of the past. They cannot predict Tuesday's draw, Friday's draw, or any draw at all — the numbers are drawn at random by mechanical or electronic equipment with no memory of what came before. What this page offers is transparency, structure, and a fun way to engage with the numbers if you already play.
Hot Numbers (Most Drawn — Main Balls)
These are the PowerBall Plus most drawn numbers from the main 1–50 pool, across all 155 draws on record. Number 14 tops the list, appearing 25 times (16.1% of all draws). Remember: past frequency does not carry forward — every draw gives each of the 50 main numbers an equal 5-in-50 chance.
Cold Numbers (Least Drawn — Main Balls)
These PowerBall Plus cold numbers have appeared least often across the full draw history. Number 6 has been drawn only 7 times (4.5%). A low historical count doesn't mean a number is "unlucky" — with a truly random draw, some numbers will always sit at the bottom of the table purely by chance.
Most Overdue Main Numbers
These are the PowerBall Plus overdue numbers — ranked by how many days have passed since each main number last appeared, rather than by lifetime frequency. Number 30 hasn't been drawn in 164 days. This is the classic "gambler's fallacy" trap: being overdue does not raise a number's probability of appearing in the next draw.
PowerBall (Bonus Ball) Hot & Cold Numbers
The PowerBall (bonus ball) is drawn from an entirely separate pool of 1–20, so its frequency pattern is independent of both the main PowerBall Plus numbers above and the main PowerBall draw's own PowerBall. Number 2 is the hottest PowerBall Plus PowerBall, drawn 13 times (8.4% of draws), while 19 has appeared only 3 times.
🔥 Hot PowerBall Numbers
❄️ Cold PowerBall Numbers
PowerBall Plus number frequency naturally fluctuates over time, for both the main numbers and the PowerBall itself. A number that looks "cold" today can become one of the hottest numbers within a few weeks, simply because the underlying draw is random. We keep the all-time hot/cold view alongside the day-count overdue view because South African players ask for both — neither changes the underlying 5-in-50 (main) or 1-in-20 (PowerBall) probability of any single number appearing in the next draw.

Odd/Even & High/Low Number Patterns
A breakdown of how often each odd/even and high/low split has occurred among the 5 main numbers across all 155 draws. High numbers are 26–50; low numbers are 1–25.
Odd vs Even Split
High vs Low Split
The single most common odd/even split across the full dataset is 3 odd and 2 even main numbers, occurring in 35.5% of draws. For high/low, the most common split is 3 high and 2 low main numbers, occurring in 38.7% of draws. Mixed splits dominate simply because there are more possible five-number combinations that produce a mixed result than an all-odd, all-even, all-high or all-low one — basic combinatorics, not a signal about future draws.
Recent Draw Trends & Jackpot History
The last 10 official PowerBall Plus results, with an average odd-number count of 2.6 per draw over that stretch (compared with a long-run average of 2.5).
Jackpot figures reflect the amounts recorded in our verified PowerBall Plus draw history and are historical only — they are not a live jackpot estimate, and the PowerBall Plus jackpot pool is entirely separate from the main PowerBall jackpot. For the current advertised jackpot, always check the official National Lottery website.
How PowerBall Plus Works (Add-on Game Explanation)
PowerBall Plus is an add-on game to the main SA PowerBall — not a separate lottery with its own ticket. When you buy a PowerBall entry, you can opt in to PowerBall Plus for a small extra amount per board, using the exact same five main numbers (1–50) and PowerBall (1–20) you already selected. Ithuba then enters those same numbers into a second, entirely independent draw, held immediately after the main PowerBall draw on the same Tuesday or Friday night, with its own dedicated prize pool separate from the main PowerBall jackpot.
Same Numbers, One Ticket
You don't choose separate numbers for Plus — it reuses your main PowerBall selection, so entering is a single extra tick-box at purchase.
Independent Second Draw
PowerBall Plus is drawn from its own separate machine straight after the main PowerBall, so its results — and its hot/cold numbers — are entirely unrelated to the main draw.
Its Own Prize Pool
Matching your numbers in PowerBall Plus wins from a jackpot and prize pool that is completely separate from the main PowerBall's own jackpot.
Because it's an independent draw using the identical 5/50 + 1/20 format, PowerBall Plus carries the same odds as the main PowerBall — about 1 in 42,375,200 for the jackpot — but its own frequency history. That's exactly why this page tracks PowerBall Plus statistics on their own, rather than mixing them with the main PowerBall's numbers. If you'd like to compare the two, our main PowerBall statistics page covers the primary draw in the same detail.
How to Use These PowerBall Plus Statistics Responsibly
Every table on this page is a genuine, verified record of past South Africa PowerBall Plus results — nothing here is invented or estimated. That honesty cuts both ways: because PowerBall Plus draws are random and independent (each main ball draw and the PowerBall draw are separate random events), none of these PowerBall Plus statistics can improve your odds of winning, and we'd rather say that plainly than let a chart imply otherwise.
What these statistics are genuinely useful for:
- A structured way to choose numbers. If you're going to pick numbers anyway, using hot, cold or pair data is no worse — and no better — than picking at random, but it can feel more engaging.
- Avoiding heavily-shared patterns. Sequences like 1-2-3-4-5 or all-birthday numbers (1–31) are picked by many players. If they come up, any prize is split more ways. A well-spread pick doesn't change your odds, but it can change your potential payout.
- Transparency and record-keeping. The full frequency tables let you verify our numbers yourself against official results rather than taking our word for it.
- Entertainment. Watching how a number moves from cold to hot over weeks is, for many players, part of the fun of following PowerBall Plus.
What they cannot do:
- Predict the next draw. No frequency count, pair table or "overdue" ranking can forecast a random mechanical or electronic draw.
- Improve your odds. Every one of the 42,375,200 possible combinations has exactly the same 1-in-42,375,200 chance, regardless of which numbers make it up.
- Replace a budget. Decide what you can afford to spend before you look at any statistic, and never chase losses — remember PowerBall Plus is an extra cost on top of your main PowerBall board.

SA PowerBall Plus Jackpot Odds — What You Need to Know
SA PowerBall Plus uses the same 5/50 + 1/20 format as the main PowerBall: five main numbers drawn from a pool of 50, plus one PowerBall from a pool of 20. The number of possible unique combinations is 42,375,200 — every one equally probable. The odds of matching all six for the jackpot are therefore exactly 1 in 42,375,200 per board, for any combination you choose, and identical to the main PowerBall's own odds.
Because the draw machine has no memory, every draw is completely independent of the last — and of the main PowerBall draw held just before it. A main number that appeared five times recently and one absent for a year have exactly the same probability of being drawn next time. That's why every frequency figure on this page describes the past only.
PowerBall Plus Statistics — Frequently Asked Questions
Based on all 155 verified draws since 28 March 2025, the most frequently drawn main numbers are 14, 27, 29, 16, 7, 43, 23, 32, 41, 42. Number 14 leads the field, appearing 25 times (16.1% of all draws). This is historical frequency only, not a forecast.
The longest-absent main numbers right now are 30, 6, 2, 9, 45, 8, 43, 12, 1, 22. Number 30 has gone 164 days without appearing. Being overdue does not raise a number's odds of being drawn next — each draw is independent.
The most frequently drawn PowerBall (bonus ball) numbers in PowerBall Plus, from the separate 1–20 pool, are 2, 13, 16, 18, 1, 4, 12, 10. Number 2 tops the list with 13 appearances (8.4% of draws). This PowerBall pool is tracked independently of the main PowerBall draw's own PowerBall numbers.
No. Every one of the 42,375,200 possible 5/50 + 1/20 combinations has exactly the same probability on every draw. A number's past frequency, whether main ball or PowerBall, has no bearing on tonight's result. Hot and cold numbers are shown for interest and transparency, not as a winning strategy.
PowerBall Plus is an add-on game: when you buy a PowerBall ticket, you can opt in to Plus for an extra amount per board using the same 5 main numbers (1–50) and PowerBall (1–20) you already chose. Your numbers are then entered into a second, independent draw with its own separate prize pool, drawn immediately after the main PowerBall on the same night.
No. PowerBall Plus uses the identical 5/50 + 1/20 game format and the same numbers you picked for your main PowerBall ticket, but it is drawn from its own separate machine as an independent, second draw with its own prize pool. A number being hot in the main PowerBall draw has no bearing on PowerBall Plus, which is why we track its statistics on this page separately.
SA PowerBall Plus is drawn twice a week — every Tuesday and Friday at 21:00 SAST, immediately after the main PowerBall draw — run by Ithuba under licence from the National Lotteries Commission.
PowerBall Plus draws 5 main numbers from 50 plus 1 PowerBall from 20, giving 42,375,200 possible combinations. Jackpot odds are 1 in 42,375,200 per board — identical for every combination, hot, cold or randomly picked, and the same odds as the main PowerBall draw since both use the identical format.
Hot numbers have appeared most often across the draws analysed; cold numbers have appeared least often overall. Overdue numbers are a related but different measure — ranked by days since last drawn rather than lifetime frequency. None of the three predicts the next draw; each describes the past only.
This page analyses every verified official PowerBall Plus draw on record — 155 draws in total, spanning 28 March 2025 to 18 September 2026. Figures refresh automatically as new results are verified.
