One Crikey After Another

G’day, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here! Last night on June 5, 2023, as the Summer Season approached the Lottery World, things went ‘Down Under’ in the Lotto Texas district. And now, the details.

What a way to begin June—Patterns and Orders from June 3, 2023 making reappearances—with the ones in the Lotto Texas district making up an Australia Play! Summer is yet to come and more surprises like this can definitely be expected. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

An Australian Getaway – Lottery Style

Australia, the only country that’s also a continent. This country-continent is home to unique wildlife, captivating landscapes, and on the bucket list of many travelers. However, such a trip can be very expensive. Lottery prize money will help offset the expenses by leaps and bounds. On some nights, there are two such opportunities! Yet, on most nights, the closest most players get to Australia is an Australia Play.

This past Saturday was one such night. On the upside, both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw larger jackpots. Lotto Texas’s jackpot grew to $6.75 million, and Powerball’s grew to $269 million.

Number Spreads and Combination Threads

If we were to go by surface appearances, then May 13, 2023 was a “typical” night for Lotto Texas and Powerball. No Pattern encores were present, but their respective jackpots did grow to $7.25 million and $135 million. Further investigation showed a good number of repeating Combinations. Digging even deeper, we found not one but two similar spreads, both in the same lottery!

With winning numbers 11, 22, 28, 35, 39 and 54, the {3-2-1} Pattern made its 1140th appearance.

Similar Spreads

The spread for Saturday night was 11:06:07:04:15. There were a couple of nights where the differences between numbers were similar, but their orders were different:

Just A Million Away

Courtesy of winning numbers, 4, 37, 46, 48, 51, and MB19, the {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 166th appearance.

Not much may have taken place with Megamillions this time, but let’s hope its jackpot can make its $100 million mark. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

Mega Millions’ Friday Night Fiesta

For our U.S. readers, Cinco de Mayo often conjures up images of Mexican (and Tex-Mex) food, margaritas, sombreros, and probably donkeys (sorry, burros). For May 5, 2023, Mega Millions was also part of the celebration. With that kind of prize money, you could go on a Mexican holiday and have enough for many more to come! Alas, Mega Millions wasn’t in a generous mood, and the prize grew to $83 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Friday night featured the 165th appearance of the {3-1-1-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 16, 18, 28, 42, 43 and MB 11, this Pattern has played 165 times.

The [3-1-1-1] General Order, now with 63 appearances, has played in 38.2% of the 165 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 877 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 7.18% of the time. March 31, 2023 was the last time the [3-1-1-1] General Order played.

Three-Number Combinations

Mega Millions was in the mood for repeating Three-Number Combinations! Three, in fact:

Is the {3-1-1-1} Pattern rearing for a comeback Tuesday night, or will another Pattern take to the stage?

Mega Millions at the Mercy of Change

If March comes roaring in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, then April comes in and out like a breeze! Like April, the lottery world goes through a series of changes both grand and not so grand. In fact, it’s the “not so grand” changes that can cause the biggest stirrups.

Not long ago, Mega Millions saw a jackpot reset, and has since been working on boosting the jackpot. One way to boost the jackpot is to  change up the Pattern that played, which is what this lottery did Tuesday night. This paid off handsomely, for the jackpot grew to $38 million.

General Lottery Analysis

For the April 25, 2023 drawing, an Australia Play encore was not in the cards. Instead, Mega Millions opted for a {3-1-1-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 8, 29, 46, 47, 48 and MB 12, this Pattern made its 164th appearance.

The [1-1-3-1] General Order, now with 47 appearances, has played in 28.7% of the 164 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 874 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 5.38% of the time. March 10, 2023 was the last time the [1-1-3-1] General Order played.

Now with six appearances, the 1 0 1 3 0 1 Specific Order has played in 12.8% of the 47 drawings where the General Order was [1-1-3-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 3.66% of the 164 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.69% of all 874 drawings.

What changes are in store for Mega Millions Friday night?

That Spreading Feeling

Looks like Mega Millions started a trend! In our Mega Millions post earlier this week, we covered a similar spread. The urge to push out a similar spread was present for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Similar spreads weren’t the only similarity these lotteries had! April 5, 2023 was another night of rising jackpots. Rocksteady Lotto Texas grew to $63.25 million, and Powerball’s jackpot grew to $186 million.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

Wednesday night’s winning numbers were 27, 28, 30, 36, 46 and 51. This brought the number of appearances for the {4-2} Pattern to 228.

There have now been 2146 Lotto Texas drawings, and this Pattern has played 10.6% of the time. The {4-2} Pattern was last seen March 18, 2023.

Now with 45 appearances, the 0 4 2 Specific Order has played in 19.7% of the 228 drawings where {4-2} was the winning Pattern. Once all 2146 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 2.10% of the time. Prior to Wednesday night, the 0 4 2 Specific Order played March 13, 2023.

Similar Spread

Wednesday night’s numbers had a spread of 01:02:06:10:05. A similar spread existed for the June 14, 2006 drawing. That night, the winning numbers were 14, 20, 21, 31, 33 and 38, and their spread was 06:01:10:02:05.

Four-Number Combinations

Amidst the madness were two repeating Four-Number Combinations:

  • 28, 36, 46, 51 (Debuted May 21, 2011)
  • 27, 28, 30, 51 (Debuted December 27, 2000)

Prior to Wednesday night, the 3 0 1 1 0 1 Specific Order played January 30, 2023.

Similar Spread

Powerball’s spread was 02:04:33:10. The featured numbers in the October 2, 2019 drawing, 4, 8, 10, 43, 53 and PB 7, had a spread of 04:02:33:10.

The key thing to remember about similar spreads is that the differences between the numbers that were played were the same, but the orders in which they played were different. That goes for all lotteries.

Three-Number Combinations

Powerball had a fondness for repeating Three-Number Combinations! Three, in fact:

Are more similar spreads and rising jackpots in store for Lotto Texas and Powerball Saturday night?

Mega Millions Marches Out

March, so they say, comes roaring in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Mega Millions lived up to the saying March 2023! This lottery started the month with its most common Pattern and four repeating Three-Number Combinations. The number of repeating Three-Number Combinations was drastically reduced Friday night, and Mega Millions opted for a less “outgoing” Pattern, but that didn’t hinder jackpot growth. As March made way for April, the jackpot grew to $385 million!

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 16, 26, 27, 42, 61 and MB 23, the {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 163rd appearance in the March 31, 2023 drawing.

Will April keep the Mega Millions jackpot large and strong, or will it be a month of resetting?

No Jackpot Resets Here!

Lotto Texas, ever graceful, so full of poise. Unlike Mega Millions and Powerball, this lottery operates on a smaller scale. This “small” lottery also tends to bow out before reaching $50 million, let alone $20 million. Perhaps Lotto Texas is tired of resetting so soon or just wants a challenge. Whatever the reason, Lotto Texas has more than proved that it can hang with big boys Mega Millions and Powerball over the past six months.

Saturday night’s results kept Lotto Texas in the club for a bit longer. By the power of a {3-2-1} Pattern encore, the jackpot rose to $58 million. Lest we forget about Powerball, that lottery didn’t need an encore to boost the jackpot to $122 million.

Springing Past $300 Million
