Breaking Up the Streak

The {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns parted ways yet again on August 12^th. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak in Powerball came to an end, yet the {3-2-1} Pattern made an encore in Lotto Texas. Joining the {3-2-1} Pattern were two repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Lotto Texas

With 766 appearances, the {3-2-1} Pattern continued to be the most commonly seen Pattern. Saturday night’s winning numbers were 5, 8, 16, 24, 25, and 46.

This Pattern has played in 52% of the 1472 Lotto Texas drawings.

Making its 132^nd appearance, the 3 2 1 Specific Order has played in 17.2% of the 766 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 8.97% of all 1472 drawings. This Specific Order did not play alongside the {3-2-1} Pattern in this past Wednesday’s drawing. To see when the 3 2 1 Specific Order previously played, we need to go back to the June 17^th, 2017 drawing.

The repeating Four-Number Combinations of the evening were

• 5, 8, 16, 46 (Debuted November 27^th, 2010)
• 8, 16, 24, 46 (Debuted December 9^th, 2009)

 

Powerball

Powerball may have taken a cue from its “sister” lottery Mega Millions, since the {3-1-1-1} Pattern played here as well. The winning numbers were 20, 24, 26, 35, 49, and PB 19.

With 38 appearances, this Pattern has played in 19.6% of the 194 Powerball drawings. Prior to Saturday night, this Pattern had previously played in the July 15^th, 2017 drawing.

Making its ninth appearance, the [3-1-1-1] General Order has played in 23.7% of the 38 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has played, and in 4.64% of all 194 drawings. This General Order was last seen in the April 29^th, 2017 drawing.

Now with three appearances, the 0 3 1 1 0 1 Specific Order has played in approximately 33.3% of the nine drawings where the [3-1-1-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 7.89% of the 38 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.55% of all 194 drawings. We last saw this Specific Order in the November 26^th, 2016 drawing.

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern didn’t produce any repeating Three-Number Combinations this time around.

Looking to the week ahead, will the {3-2-1} Pattern go for a three-peat?
