Powerball: 3 Even / 2 Odd

The 3 Even / 2 Odd combination is one of the most common even/odd patterns in Powerball, appearing in 30.2% of all drawings. This makes mathematical sense - when you pick 5 numbers from 1-69, getting a relatively balanced mix of even and odd numbers is far more likely than getting all of one type. In fact, balanced patterns (2E/3O and 3E/2O) together account for over 60% of all Powerball results.

The longest this pattern ever went without appearing was 18 consecutive drawings.

Remember: Each Powerball drawing is completely random. Whether the last 10 draws were all 3E/2O or all 0E/5O, every even/odd combination has the exact same probability in the next drawing.
