For our U.S. readers, nothing says, “I survived the week so far!” than a chocolate cupcake or two, right? October 18, 2017 was yet another food centered holiday: National Chocolate Cupcake Day. Lotto Texas and Powerball didn’t bring any cupcakes, but both of their Patterns made an encore appearance. Talk about a boomerang effect! What’s more, is that there was a repeating Three or Four-Number Combination here and there.
Lotto Texas
General Lottery Analysis
The Australia Play made its 201st appearance, with winning numbers 7, 18, 25, 32, 47, and 50.
This means both the {2-2-2} Pattern and 2 2 2 Specific Order have played in 13.5% of the 1491 Lotto Texas drawings.
Four-Number Combination(s)
The lone repeating Four-Number Combination of the evening was 18, 25, 47, and 50.

Powerball
General Lottery Analysis
With winning numbers 30, 49, 54, 66, 69, and PB 8, the {2-2-1-1} has now played in 63 Powerball drawings.
Given that there have now been 213 drawings, this Pattern has played in 29.6% of them.
Making its 19th appearance was the [1-2-2-1] General Order, which has now played in 30.2% of the 63 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 8.92% of all 213 drawings. The [1-2-2-1] General Order was not seen alongside the {2-2-1-1} Pattern Wednesday night. Instead, this General Order was last seen in the September 20, 2017 drawing.
Now with two appearances, the 0 0 1 2 2 1 Specific Order has played in 10.5% of the 19 drawings where the [1-2-2-1] General Order has appeared. Additionally, this Specific Order has played in 3.17% of the 63 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. Of course, we can’t forget to mention that this has played in 0.94% of all 213 drawings. The 0 0 1 2 2 1 Specific Order accompanied the [1-2-2-1] General Order in the September 20th drawing. In fact, that was when the Specific Order made its debut.
Three-Number Combination(s)
The repeating Three-Number Combination of the evening was 30, 66, 69.
This Combination made its debut in the May 4, 2016 drawing.
Will these Patterns stay joined at the hip Saturday night, or will they part ways?
