Powerball Draw Report — October 21, 2026 Under the Microscope

This is the Powerball deep-dive: instead of a pile of picks, we pull the draw data apart — frequency, gaps, sums and shapes — so you can see exactly what the recent numbers have been doing.

Shape of the draws
Structure matters as much as individual numbers. Here is how recent drawn lines have been shaped — odd/even balance, low/high split and section spread:
Across the last 50 draws, the most common odd/even split was 2 odd out of 5 (seen in 44% of draws), with an average of 2.4 odd numbers per line. 2 of the numbers typically landed in the lower half (1–34). 24% of draws contained at least one consecutive pair, and 20% repeated at least one number from the draw before.
Appearances by play-slip section (rows of ten).
Appearances by last digit (·0 through ·9).
Sum trend
Is the board running high or low? The sum trend over recent draws:
Line totals have averaged 172 over the window, ranging from 93 to 268; the middle half of results landed between 139 and 208. Over the most recent 20 draws the total has been sliding downward (regression slope -1.5 per draw around an average of 161).
Gap report
Finally, the gap report — which numbers have been missing longest, and which just ended a drought:
43 currently leads the absence table at 45 draws without an appearance, followed by 60 (33), 66 (30), 27 (29). On the other side, a neighbor effect showed up in 49% of recent draws — a number one above or below a previous hit appearing next time out.
