In the Heat of the Streak

Heat. Hot as Hades. Those describe summer to a T, but they can also describe May. According to the calendar, it’s still spring, but there’s no denying that the days are getting hotter. Air conditioners are getting a workout, and those who don’t have to wait until Memorial Day weekend before the pool opens are taking full advantage. Lately, it appears that as the thermometer readings go up, things are heating up for Lotto Texas and Powerball as well.

Since the beginning of May, Lotto Texas has been in the grips of a Pattern streak. For four nights in a row, the {3-2-1} Pattern has stuck around and fueled the rise of the Lotto Texas jackpot. On May 14, 2022, this Pattern came back once more and once more, the jackpot rose, settling at $14.5 million when all was said and done. As for Powerball, a streak wasn’t needed to set the jackpot there to $90 million.

Will the {3-2-1} Pattern streak stick around for Lotto Texas in the week ahead?

With Luck, a Common Pattern

This Friday was another one of those Fridays. Yes, we’re talking about Friday the 13th! Whether you decided to take extra precautions that day (We won’t judge) or treated it like an ordinary day, one thing was constant. Mega Millions.

Why would Mega Millions change up its plans, all because humans decided a certain number that fell on a certain day was somehow unlucky? That evening was just as good as any other evening to stir up trouble, and Mega Millions did so with a commonly played Pattern. And, with a little extra help, that pushed the jackpot to $112 million.

General Lottery Analysis

May 13, 2022 saw the 331st appearance of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. The winning numbers were 11, 41, 43, 44, 65 and MB 13.

  • 41, 65, MB 13 (Debuted December 10, 2013)

One Lottery Giveth and the Other Runneth with It

Computers are wonderful. They make writing documents easier, provide entertainment, and allow us to connect to people across vast distances instantaneously. As wonderful as computers are, they have a way of doing unpleasant things, like not turning on. Rather than practice percussive maintenance (a fancy of way of saying “Hitting the computer repeatedly”), I passed on yesterday’s Mega Millions post to the Mega Millions analyst himself, Romulun Harris. I want to thank him for filling in on such short notice.

There was quite the kerfuffle in the lottery world Wednesday night. May 11, 2022 was a good night for a repeating Four-Number Combination. The catch, and there’s always a catch with these lotteries, is that the Combination happened in Powerball. Naturally, that meant Powerball went crazy with the repeating Three-Number Combinations, and with it came a jackpot that climbed to $83 million. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas graciously rose to $14.25 million.

The 3 2 1 Specific Order also had the mind to return Wednesday night! Now with 189 appearances, this Specific Order has played in 17.9% of the 1058 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern.

Both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the 3 2 1 Specific Order were last seen May 9, 2022.

Four-Number Combinations

No repeating Four-Number Combinations were present. Lotto Texas thought a playback wrapped in an encore was enough.

Powerball

The {3-2-1} Pattern was a popular one indeed! Powerball’s {3-2-1} Pattern came about by the power of 5, 7, 61, 63, 69 and PB 18. This Pattern has now played 46 times.

Prior to Wednesday night, the 2 0 0 0 3 1 Specific Order played June 17, 2020.

Four-Number Combination

Powerball couldn’t help playing a {3-2-1} Pattern. Apparently, it couldn’t help playing a repeating Four-Number Combination, either! Repeating Four-Number Combination 61, 63, 69 and PB 18 debuted September 22, 2018.

Three-Number Combinations

Naturally, there were four repeating Three-Number Combinations wrapped inside that repeating Four-Number Combination:

  • 63, 69, PB 18 (Debuted August 2, 2017, and previously played September 22, 2018)
  • 61, 69, PB 18 (Debuted September 22, 2018)
  • 61, 63, PB 18 (Debuted September 22, 2018)
  • 61, 63, 69 (Debuted September 22, 2018)

One Phenomenon Ends, Another Continues

Greetings Lotterytrend fans, Romulun Harris here. Last night on May 9, 2022, the event of Lotto Texas experiencing an Australia Play every Monday ended.

Although the Monday Australia Play has stopped, Lotto Texas’s {3-2-1} Pattern keeps its momentum. How long will it last? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

The Weekend Playback with a Side of Combination Explosion

Ever since the end of April, Lotto Texas and Powerball have been fired up. Whether they’re blasting everyone with repeating Combinations or similar spreads, these lotteries don’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon! However, if we take a closer look at what happened May 7, 2022, that’s not entirely true.

One lottery saw a Combination explosion Saturday night, but the other didn’t. Both strategies paid off in the whole “Evading the players” scheme, though. Lotto Texas continued to hold strong with a jackpot of $13 million, and Powerball’s pushed onward to $59 million.

Mega Millions in “Seis de Mayo”

“Seis de Mayo?! What the heck is that?”

We all know about Cinco de Mayo, the day when people can binge on Mexican and Tex-Mex food and partake in the wonders of margaritas with little shame (here is what the holiday is about).  Cinco de Mayo translates to “Fifth of May”, or more casually, “May 5th”. What about Seis de Mayo – May 6th? Well, Sigmund Freud was born on that day in 1857, and 81 years later, the Hindenburg disaster took place.

So, what about May 6, 2022? That’s what we’re all here for, right? We’re not sure what the history books will say about that date, but we can tell you what happened in Mega Millions. The jackpot evaded capture and grew to $86 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The jackpot was able to grow with a little help from the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 16, 21, 33, 52, 70 and MB 10, this Pattern has now played 330 times.

Both the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern and the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order were last seen April 29, 2022.

The 0 2 1 1 1 1 Specific Order served as the playback blocker Friday night. Now with 19 appearances, this Specific Order has played in 22.6% of the 84 drawings where the General Order was [2-1-1-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.76% of the 330 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 2.46% of all 773 drawings.

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern return for Tuesday night?

The Spread is Strong with These Two

“May the fourth be with you.”

You probably hear this at least once every May 4th. For those out of the loop, May 4th is the unofficial holiday known as Star Wars Day. Sure, this series can be celebrated any day, but if you think about it, May 4th is fitting!

While “Star Wars” fans got their geek on, Lotto Texas and Powerball were engaged in a battle in a galaxy not so far away. May 4, 2022 was a night of similar spreads, a Pattern encore, and rising jackpots. Lotto Texas ascended to $12.5 million, and Powerball propelled itself to $51 million.

The differences between the numbers played on both nights may have been the same, but their orders were different.

Four-Number Combinations

Lotto Texas may have stepped away from repeating Five-Number Combinations, but the love for the repeating Four-Number kind remained. Repeating Four-Number Combination 6, 14, 27 and 33 debuted July 23, 2008.

The winning numbers were 18, 34, 40, 42, 50 and PB 9 and the spread was 16:06:02:08. Again, the differences between numbers played was the same, but the orders (and the numbers themselves) were different.

The Mega Millions Pattern Streak Strikeout

As Mega Millions bid farewell to April, it did so with an assist from the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Having played three times in a row,  a Pattern streak to start May wouldn’t have been out of the question. After all, this Pattern is no stranger to streaks! However, Mega Millions had other plans. A Pattern streak may not have come to fruition, but the momentum persisted as the jackpot grew to $70 million.

General Lottery Analysis

May 3, 2022 was the {3-1-1-1} Pattern’s time to shine. With winning numbers 15, 19, 27, 35, 57 and MB 17, this Pattern has now played 146 times.
