A Fiery Five-Number Combination Fling

Lotto Texas may have found another passion! An attraction formed between Lotto Texas and a repeating Five-Number Combination earlier this month. This attraction fizzled out but didn’t stay out for long. Lotto Texas embraced yet another repeating Five-Number Combination Saturday night, passionately pushing the jackpot to $5.5 million.

Powerball’s night was much quieter but just as fruitful. With little fanfare, the jackpot increased to $37 million.

This Combination debuted in the December 22, 2010 drawing. Notice anything about that date?

Four-Number Combinations

Naturally, a repeating Five-Number Combination is followed by a quintet of repeating Four-Number Combinations:

  • 8, 14, 19, 41
  • 8, 18, 19, 41
  • 8, 14, 18, 41
  • 8, 14, 18, 19

Three-Number Combinations

Powerball didn’t see any repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Is another repeating Five-Number Combination in the cards for Lotto Texas in the week ahead?

Of Encores and an Expanding Jackpot Gulf

One lottery drawing. That’s all it takes to change one’s fate. A jackpot winner came forth in both Lotto Texas and Powerball earlier this week, but there was yet another winner: Mega Millions.

How, you wonder? With Lotto Texas and Powerball out of the way, Mega Millions can take up more space and revel in having the largest available jackpot. The day that Mega Millions’ jackpot resets will come, but it didn’t come this week. Thanks to a repeat appearance by the {2-2-1-1} Pattern Friday night, the jackpot grew to $75 million.

How long will Mega Millions’ reign last in the lottery world?

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Reset Cycle

Jackpot resets are like death, taxes, and disappointment: They’re inevitable. Whether a few weeks or several months have passed, rising jackpots must fall. How they get back up varies from lottery to lottery.

For Lotto Texas and Powerball, February 16, 2022 meant doing what they do best. Lotto Texas didn’t see a need to go all-out. Taking a slow and steady approach meant the jackpot rising to $5.25 million. Powerball’s tactic was to yell frantically and hurl repeating Three-Number Combinations. Messy though that was, it paid off, for the Powerball jackpot rose to $31 million.

What all will Lotto Texas and Powerball do Saturday night to keep their jackpots rising? Are more repeating Three-Number Combination quintets in the cards?

Mega Millions: The Jackpot King

Lotto Texas and Powerball kicked the week off with a bang! Monday night saw both lotteries taken down a peg, forcing their jackpots to reset to $5 million and $20 million, respectively. What did that have to do with Mega Millions, you wonder?

Everything.

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots were reset, yes, but Mega Millions did not follow this path Tuesday night. Instead, the jackpot grew to $64 million, allowing this lottery to reign supreme (for now).

General Lottery Analysis

An assist from the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made the jackpot increase of February 15, 2022 possible. With 2, 4, 15, 21, 63 and MB 19, this Pattern has now played 209 times.

The Primetime Combination Smash

As the countdown to Super Bowl LVI (56 for those unacquainted with Roman numerals) continued, another game took place Saturday night. Lotto Texas and Powerball changed up their game plans once again, resulting in yet another personality swap! Lotto Texas returned to its ever-graceful self, and with that came a jackpot that rose to $9.5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball’s devil-may-care attitude with repeating Three-Number Combinations pushed the jackpot to $183 million.

Is another personality swap in store for Lotto Texas and Powerball Monday?

Ramming Through with Similar Spreads

February may be the shortest month, but what it lacks in length it more than makes up in festiveness! The Super Bowl is in February, and Valentine’s Day adds a touch of love in the air. If you’re not into football or romance, or even if you are, you might be able to swing by a Mardi Gras parade. You Mardi Gras lovers will have to wait a little longer this year; it’s not until March 1st.

As people stocked up on Super Bowl snacks and prepared for a romantic getaway (or an opportunity to embrace self-love), Mega Millions decided to shake things up. Friday night featured not one but two similar spreads! This unique move pushed the jackpot to $53 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The February 11, 2022 drawing featured the 142nd appearance of the {3-1-1-1} Pattern with 11, 16, 23, 24, 30 and MB 24.

A raucous start to the weekend! Source: lotterytrend-megamillions.com.

There have now been 749 Mega Millions drawings, and this Pattern has played 19% of the time.

The [1-3-1-1] General Order, now with 46 appearances, has played in 32.4% of the 142 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 749 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 6.14% of the time.

Both the {3-1-1-1} Pattern and the [1-3-1-1] General Order were last seen January 21, 2022.

Now with four appearances, the 1 3 1 0 0 1 Specific Order has played in 8.70% of the 46 drawings where the General Order was [1-3-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 2.82% of the 142 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.53% of all 749 drawings. Prior to Friday night, the 1 3 1 0 0 1 Specific Order played June 2, 2020.

Similar Spreads

The Friday night spread was 05:07:01:06. There were two, yes two nights with spreads that were similar!

  • The first happened May 12, 2017. That night, 28, 34, 41, 42, 47 and MB 13 were the winning numbers, and they had a spread of 06:07:01:05.
  • Next was February 9, 2018. The winning numbers were 28, 34, 41, 46, 47 and MB 14, and their spread was 06:07:05:01.

In all three instances, the differences between numbers played were the same but of course, their orders were different.

Three-Number Combinations

Having two similar spreads in one night left Mega Millions without the energy to pursue repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Seeing one similar spread in a night is one thing, but two? We’ll have to see if Mega Millions does it again Tuesday night or if this lottery decides to pursue a more “quieter” route.

Lotto Texas and Powerball Do a Flip

Lotto Texas and Powerball couldn’t be any more different! Why, just a few posts ago, we talked about Lotto Texas’s grace and poise and how audacity was Powerball’s raison d’etre. What we forgot to mention was that their personalities flip once in a while.

Most recently, that personality swap took place on February 9, 2022. Lotto Texas was the one who decided to throw grace to the wind for a change and use the power of a repeating Five-Number Combination to boost its jackpot to a respectable $9.25 million. Powerball borrowed the grace Lotto Texas casted aside and quietly used an Australia Play encore to grow the jackpot to $172 million.

All the above Combinations debuted in the November 1, 2008 drawing mentioned earlier. However, Combination 9, 10, 12 and 51 was last seen August 20, 2016.

There was a loner. Repeating Four-Number Combination 9, 12, 18 and 51 debuted November 7, 2015.

The only constant in the lottery world is change! How long will the personality swap last?

The Mega Millions Tuesday Night Playback Special

An Australia Play is a special play indeed. In Mega Millions (and Powerball), it translates to the Pattern, General Order, and Specific Order being the same. That is, {1-1-1-1-1-1}, [1-1-1-1-1-1], and 1 1 1 1 1 1, respectively. Another thing that makes an Australia Play special is that given how joined at the hip the Pattern, General Order, and Specific Order are, they all play on the same date. For our new readers, and anyone who may need a refresher, anytime the Pattern, General Order, and Specific Order play together is called a playback. All Australia Plays are playbacks, but not all playbacks are Australia Plays.

A note before we continue: For Lotto Texas, an Australia Play occurs when the {2-2-2} Pattern and 2 2 2 Specific Order are featured. Now, back to Mega Millions.

The February 8, 2022 drawing did not feature an Australia Play encore, but a playback was present. It was thanks to this playback that the jackpot grew to $42 million.

Prior to Tuesday night, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern, [1-2-2-1] General Order, and the 1 2 0 2 0 1 Specific Order played in the January 28, 2022 drawing.

Three-Number Combinations

Mega Millions decided to take a break on repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Although it’s only been for a couple of drawings, could Mega Millions be developing a love for playbacks? We’ll have to wait until Friday night to see if another one shows up, or if Mega Millions decides another Pattern kicks off the weekend.
