Most and least drawn numbers of 2020

With 105 drawings and five balls each, every number "should" appear about 7.6 times if the machine is fair. The spread below is what fair randomness actually looks like over a single year — a leader several appearances clear of the field, and a tail of numbers that barely showed up.

The five most-drawn white balls of 2020.

Powerball's most frequent number in 2020 was 36, drawn 14 times — in 13.3% of the year's drawings. Every number from 1 to 69 came up at least once, with the quietest appearing just 3 times (26, 28, 66). The most common Powerball was 18, with 13 appearances.

None of this predicts anything. A number that led one year has no better chance the next, and the ranking reshuffles completely from year to year — which is exactly what testing the full record against simulated fair draws shows.

Extremes of the year

The lowest-scoring drawing of 2020 came on May 23, 2020, when the five white balls added up to just 72:
