We're seeing an interesting anomaly in the individual Powerball columns as compared to the Mega Millions for the same number of draws in the current combinatoric permutation matrix.

As of 2016-08-19 11:54 CT, there are 91 draws for the current matrix in Powerball and 295 draws from Mega Millions.

We did a compare of the Powerball and the Mega Millions at the same 91 draws and found an interesting difference in the individual columns of the selections.

We'll post a more later, but you can check it out yourself.

Keep in mind, Powerball has a 5/69 + 1/26 and Mega Millions 5/75 + 1/15.

Mega Millions has a larger pool of Pick 5 numbers to select from than Powerball, yet Powerball is doing something worth noting.

For the same number of draws we would expect to see fairly similar results.

Also, we have posted a topic that can be used to show the on average results for both lottery matrices, link below.
