The spatial distribution of binomial coefficients in residue classes modulo prime powers is studied. It is proved inter alia that empirical distribution of the points (k,m)p−m with 0 ≤ k ≤ n < pm and (nk)≡a (mod⁡ p)s$\left( {\matrix{n \cr k \cr } } \right) \equiv a\left( {\bmod \;p} \right)^s $ (for (a, p) = 1) for m→∞ tends to the Hausdorff measure on the “p-adic Sierpiński gasket”, a fractals studied earlier by von Haeseler, Peitgen, and Skordev.
