Invasion of the Repeating Four-Number Combinations

For those who don’t partake in Halloween, October 30th is just another day. For everyone else, it’s a “last call” for preparations. Hopefully, you didn’t put off finding a costume or buying candy! Or perhaps costumes and candy aren’t your thing. You prefer watching scary moves or doing the scaring yourself.

Lotto Texas and Powerball aren’t into the haunting business. No spooky noises or jump scares for these two! Instead, they took a similar approach this past Saturday night. October 30, 2021 saw not only a playback for one lottery, but both lotteries saw a repeating Four-Number Combination. Well, that and rising jackpots. Lotto Texas’s jackpot ascended to $8 million, and Powerball’s rested at a comfortable $123 million.

Repeating Three-Number Combination 23, 28, and 56 is a special case. This Combination debuted June 6, 2018 and played again in the earlier-mentioned May 1st drawing. The other three Combinations in the list above debuted that night.

Why stop at just those repeating Three-Number Combinations, though? There were two more:

Will the jackpots rise again Monday night?

Mega Millions’ Great Combination Summoning

Mega Millions wanted to start Halloween weekend with something grand, and it was done without the assistance from a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore. This “bang” came in the form of a repeating Four-Number Combination. Now, these may not be as common here as they are in Lotto Texas, but they always leave a big impact! Before we can get to the repeating Four-Number Combination, there’s the matter of the October 29, 2021 drawing itself. As Mega Millions put aside its most common Pattern to explore other avenues, the jackpot climbed to $26 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern blocked the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore from taking place. With winning numbers 15, 26, 28, 35, 45 and MB 4, this Pattern made its 138th appearance.

Will another repeating Four-Number Combination show up to start November?

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Common Ground

Lotto Texas and Powerball can’t be any more different! One is known for having a behemoth of a prize show up on occasion while the other takes a more measured approach. On top of that, Lotto Texas has only white balls 1 through 54 and Powerball not only has white balls 1 through 69, it also has red Powerballs that range from 1 to 26. And of course, Lotto Texas is the Texas State Lottery (though others in other parts of the country can snag such a ticket) while Powerball tickets are readily available just about anywhere in the United States.

These differences were cast aside October 27, 2021. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball took to playing their most common Patterns. This worked to boost their respective jackpots to $7.75 million and $116 million.

Both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern are notorious for making encores, and then some. Will October in the lottery world end with at least one of these Patterns returning?

Mega Millions’ Return to {2-1-1-1-1}

Mega Millions got in the process of getting back up Tuesday night. This past Friday saw the jackpot brought down by the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. In an interesting turn of events, that very Pattern returned October 26, 2021. Instead of keeping the jackpot in place, this Pattern helped it rise to $22 million.

The Playback Conspiracy

Playback fever has taken hold in the lottery world. A playback was featured in both Monday and Wednesday night’s drawings, with the latter having the bonus of being an encore to boot. Saturday night ramped things up.

October 23, 2021 featured not only another playback but a playback that was so close to forming. Both this playback, and near playback, had a hand in boosting the Lotto Texas and Powerball jackpots to $7.25 million and $93 million, respectively.

Down Into the Mega Millions Canyon

One month ago, a lone player from New York won a massive jackpot. On October 22, 2021, it was Arizona’s turn to produce a winner. Even though the jackpot didn’t get the chance to grow as large as it had in September, it’s highly doubtful that the $108 million prize would be turned down! As it goes, the jackpot once again reset to $20 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern was responsible for taking down the jackpot this time, with winning numbers 9, 14, 26, 29, 66 and MB 22. This Pattern has now played 305 times.

The Lottery Mid-Week Double Encore Chiller

It’s that time of year again! All the pumpkin spice-themed food and accessories, not to mention actual pumpkins, candy sales, and decorations mean one thing: Halloween is upon us. Now, lotteries don’t go bump in the night or suck your blood, but they can and do have the power to scare. After all, the prospect of winning millions of dollars is both exciting and terrifying, isn’t it? Want to know what else is terrifying? When lotteries don’t let anyone take off with their jackpots, especially if you don’t know how they did it. How a lottery dashes dreams of overnight riches changes up; fun to keep the players on their toes, after all.

October 20, 2021 meant rising jackpots for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Through the power of a double encore and an assist from repeating Three and Four-Number Combinations, their respective jackpots climbed to $7 million and $86 million.

Passing Up on a Playback

There was good news and bad news concerning the October 19, 2021 Mega Millions drawing. First the bad. If you or anyone else you know is a fan of the playback (Pattern, General Order, and Specific Order all played together in a previous drawing), then Tuesday’s drawing was so close, yet so far. The good news is that the Mega Millions jackpot crossed the $100 million threshold. With the help of a “near playback”, the prize shot up to $108 million.
