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.

When is the next Powerball drawing?

Saturday, Sept. 6: The Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 11 p.m. ET. You pick five numbers between 1-69 for the white balls and select one number between 1-26 for the red Powerball. Match all five white balls in any order and pick the correct red ball, and you're a jackpot winner.

Did anybody win the Powerball last night? No.

No ticket had all six Powerball winning numbers Wednesday, April 3, so the estimated jackpot grows to at least $1.7billion (with a cash option of $770 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.
