Who doesn’t love Australia, right? What with the surfing, the wildlife, the weather…
But seriously. August 8, 2018 was a night like no other. In fact, something so wild, so crazy happened that we can’t talk about it in this paragraph. All we can tell you right now is that the jackpots for Lotto Texas and Powerball rose to a respective $16 million and $245 million.
Lotto Texas
General Lottery Analysis
With winning numbers 12, 16, 28, 29, 46, and 54, both the {2-2-2} Pattern and the 2 2 2 Specific Order made their 220th appearance.
Of the 1575 Lotto Texas drawings to date, the Australia Play has happened in roughly 14% of them.
Four-Number Combination(s)
There were no repeating Four-Number Combinations in Wednesday’s drawing.
Powerball
General Lottery Analysis
Powerball also got struck with Australia Play fever! The winning numbers were 10, 21, 30, 43, 63, and PB 17.
With those six numbers, the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order, and 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order have played 22 times. Given the 297 Powerball drawings, the Australia Play has played 7.41% of the time.
Here’s the kicker. Both Australia Plays were previously seen on July 25, 2018!
Three-Number Combination(s)
The lone repeating Three-Number Combination, 10, 43, and 63, made its debut in the October 19, 2016 drawing.
Could another first take place Saturday night with both Australia Plays making an encore?
