Why some pairs come up together more often
Each Powerball draw contains 10 pairs, so 1,425 draws produce 14,250 pair appearances spread over 2,346 possible pairs — 6.1 each on average. With that many pairs, some will land well above the average by chance; the top of the list is where those land. It isn’t a sign that two numbers are linked.
Every draw is independent: the machine has no memory, so a number that has come up often, rarely or not for a long time has exactly the same chance as any other in the next draw. These figures describe what has happened, not what will.
