It’s a Common Thing

Unlike what took place on Wednesday night, there were no rarely-seen Patterns July 22^nd. In fact, both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most commonly seen Patterns make an appearance. There were also two repeating Four-Number Combinations in Lotto Texas, one of them having played twice before! Powerball saw a repeating Three-Number Combination as well.

Lotto Texas

The {3-2-1} Pattern made its 761^st appearance. Saturday night. The winning numbers were 17, 22, 24, 41, 44, and 49.

This Pattern has played in 51.9% of the 1466 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen in the July 12^th drawing.

With 141 appearances, the 1 2 3 Specific Order has played in 18.5% of the 761 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 9.62% of all 1466 drawings. Prior to Saturday, this Specific Order was last seen in the June 28^th, 2017 drawing.

Repeating Four-Number Combinations got a lot of love. The repeating Four-Number Combinations were:

• 17, 24, 41, 44 (Debuted February 14^th, 2001)
• 17, 22, 24, 41 (Debuted August 5^th, 2009 and last seen 10/31/2009. Spooky!)

Sixteen years is a lengthy amount of time to pass for a Four-Number Combination to play again. It’s also not common to see a Four-Number Combination repeat just a few months after making its debut!

Powerball

With winning numbers 5, 32, 44, 53, 60, and PB 9, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has now played in 68 drawings.

This Pattern has also played in 36.2% of the 188 Powerball drawings, and was last seen a few weeks ago in the July 5^th drawing.

Making its 16^th appearance, the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order has played in 23.5% of the 68 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 8.51% of all 188 drawings. This General Order previously played in the June 24^th, 2017 drawing.

Now with three appearances, the 1 0 1 2 1 1 Specific Order has played in 18.75% of the 16 drawings where the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order has appeared, 4.41% of the 68 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.60% of all 188 drawings. This Specific Order was last seen in the August 27^th, 2016 drawing.

The repeating Three-Number Combination of the evening was 5, 44, and PB 9, which made its debut in the May 7^th, 2016 drawing.

This Combination has only played once before.

With July about to wrap up, what will we see in the week ahead? Will either the {3-2-1} or the {2-1-1-1-1}  or both Patterns make an encore?
