The following charts, updated after each Powerball lottery drawing, help you see which numbers have a better chance of rolling out because they haven't hit for weeks or haven't rolled out as frequently in the last 100 games.
No ticket had all six Powerball winning numbers Saturday, April 20, so the estimated jackpot grows to at least $115 million (with a lump-sum option of $53.1 million). The jackpot grows until it is won.
There's no significant way of improving your 1 in 292.2 million odds of winning the jackpot – unless you have millions of dollars to gamble. Still, these charts below have, at times, highlighted a winning number or two that helped players cut their odds a bit.

You can't see many trends from the winning red Powerball – if any can be seen in a random drawing. Sure, it's probably best to chose numbers that haven't rolled out in the past week or so. That can help you narrow down to the 23 or 24 most likely options.
With the five white numbers each drawing, the choice can be a little different. You can generally stay away from numbers that won in the last game. That said, a number hits in back-to-back games a little over every three games. So here and there, it can be worth taking a flier on numbers that have been "hot."
Below are all the Pick 5 numbers that have won in the past 10 games. We've highlighted five that have rolled out more than once. It's up to you to decide whether its worth picking them again or avoiding them.
