No math involved. WE do it for you!
If you’re wondering why there wasn’t a Mega Millions post yesterday, then it’s because we’ve decided to end Lottery Binge for the time being. This decision did not come easy. We’d like to thank y’all for sticking with the blog for seven years, and nine years for Lottery Trend. We’ll leave the blog up and the Lottery Trend sites, links at the top, for your reference. Hurry, because they may not be around come spring!
Remember to drink and play responsibly.
Two months. Would you believe that it took Powerball two months to have a jackpot worth almost one billion dollars?! Powerball’s persistence and resilience paid off since that fateful evening in July. As we neared September’s end, the jackpot had grown to $925 million.
What of Lotto Texas? Although it wasn’t as willing to entertain a ridiculously large jackpot in a (near) ridiculously short time, there was a Pattern encore. That encore was enough to grow the jackpot to $8 million.
The {3-2-1} Pattern encore of September 27, 2023 was thanks to 9, 31, 33, 45, 49 and 54. This Pattern has now played 1165 times. There have now been 2221 Lotto Texas drawings, and this Pattern has now played 52.5% of the time. Recall that the {3-2-1} Pattern has played September 25, 2023.
Now with 204 appearances, the 1 2 3 Specific Order has played in 17.5% of the 1165 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 2221 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 9.19% of the time. Prior to Wednesday night, the 1 2 3 Specific Order played September 23, 2023.
There were two repeating Four-Number Combinations:
With winning numbers 1, 7, 46, 47, 63 and PB 7, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 281st appearance. This Pattern has now played in 29.8% of the 943 Powerball drawings and was last seen September 18, 2023.
The [2-2-1-1] General Order, now with 97 appearances, has played in 34.5% of the 281 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 943 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 10.3% of the time. September 16, 2023 was the last time the [2-2-1-1] General Order was featured.
Now with 11 appearances, the 2 0 0 2 1 1 Specific Order has played in 11.3% of the 97 drawings where the General Order was [2-2-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 3.91% of the 281 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.17% of the 943 drawings. Prior to Wednesday night, the 2 0 0 2 1 1 Specific Order played July 15, 2023.
A trio of repeating Three-Number Combinations were present:
Will Powerball’s billion-dollar jackpot be claimed Saturday night, or will there be a monstrous jackpot on the loose?
Fall arrived for Mega Millions Tuesday night, and this lottery fell for repeating Three-Number Combinations hard! But first, let’s take the time to mention that the {3-2-1} Pattern did not make an encore appearance. Mega Millions didn’t need a Pattern encore to send the jackpot to $267 million.
The {3-1-1-1} Pattern of September 26, 2023 was thanks to 15, 30, 35, 42, 60 and MB 16. This Pattern has now played 173 times. There have now been 918 Mega Millions drawings, and this Pattern has played 19.5% of the time. We last saw the {3-1-1-1} Pattern September 19, 2023.
The [1-3-1-1] General Order, now with 58 appearances, has played in 33.5% of the 173 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 918 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 6.32% of the time. September 5, 2023 was the last time the [1-3-1-1] General Order was featured.
Now with six appearances, the 0 1 3 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in 10.3% of the 58 drawings where the General Order was [1-3-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 3.47% of the 173 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.65% of all 918 drawings. Prior to Tuesday night, the 0 1 3 0 1 1 Specific Order played September 16, 2022.
There were four repeating Three-Number Combinations:
How far will the jackpot grow?
Greetings Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here. Last night on September 25, 2023, while the country—generally the East Coast— continued to deal with tropical storms and hurricanes, the Lottery World experienced a storm of its own, in the form of Powerball’s jackpot that increased up to Category 835–$835 million, that is! And strong winds in the form of the frequently played {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns howling respectively over the Lotto Texas and Powerball districts. And now, the aftermath of these Lottery storms.
LOTTO TEXAS
Analysis
Lotto Texas’s {3-2-1} Pattern made a windy 1164th appearance, thanks to the formation of winning numbers, 3, 17, 20, 43, 49, and PB54. This Pattern has now played in 52.43% of all 2220 Lotto Texas drawings and last played on September 23, 2023.
The 2 1 3 Specific Order, in its 177th appearance, has now played in 15.21% of all 1164 drawings associated with the {3-2-1} Pattern and 7.97% of all 2220 Lotto Texas drawings. This Specific Order last played on August 21, 2023.

A trio of Three-Number Combination Repeats occurred:
So far this year, Powerball’s been very powerful when it comes to billion-dollar jackpots. If this keeps up, Powerball could be at a billion dollars again by the beginning of October. And it’s hard to tell what will happen on Halloween. And let’s all pray for those people on the East Coast—including Nova Scotia, Canada—who have to deal with the brunt of the strong storms this hurricane season so far. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!
To all our readers in the Northern Hemisphere, that wonderful season known as fall began September 23rd at 6:50 AM GMT. However, depending on where you live, Mother Nature still hasn’t let go of summer. As many fall lovers in those regions count down the days when they can whip out the sweaters and truly embrace the pumpkin spice, there’s no heat relief in either Lotto Texas or Powerball. In fact, a Saturday night is prime time to turn things up!
This past Saturday night was a bit quieter on the “crazy plays” front. No Australia Plays coming back like boomerangs, let alone any Pattern encores. Instead, the beast of a jackpot in Powerball grew even larger, stopping at a towering $785 million. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas’s jackpot rose to a respectable $7.5 million.
The {3-2-1} Pattern made its 1163rd appearance with 8, 28, 36, 39, 46 and 51. This Pattern has now played in 52.4% of the 2219 Lotto Texas drawings and was last seen September 11, 2023.
Now with 203 appearances, the 1 2 3 Specific Order has played in 17.5% of the 1163 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 2219 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 9.15% of the time. Prior to Saturday night, the 1 2 3 Specific Order played August 26, 2023.
Repeating Four-Number Combination 28, 36, 46 and 51 showed up more than once before! This Combination debuted in the May 21, 2011 drawing and was last seen April 5, 2023.
With winning numbers 1, 12, 20, 33, 66 and PB 21, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 368th appearance. There have now been 941 Powerball drawings, and this Pattern has played 39.1% of the time. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern was last seen September 11, 2023.
The [2-1-1-1-1] General Order, now with 94 appearances, has played in 25.5% of the 368 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 941 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 9.99% of the time. August 28, 2023 was the last time the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order was featured.
Now with 24 appearances, the 2 1 1 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in 25.5% of the 94 drawings where the General Order was [2-1-1-1-1].

Prior to Saturday night, the 2 1 1 0 1 1 Specific Order played April 19, 2023.
Powerball had room enough for two repeating Three-Number Combinations:
Is the Powerball jackpot looking to surpass $800 million Monday night, or will it take a mighty fall?
Another summer has come and gone, and Mega Millions was the lottery to end it off. After resting up Tuesday night, this lottery came back pumped up and ready to dish out the repeating Combinations! The volley of repeating Combinations, and a jackpot that grew to $230 million, was all thanks to a Pattern that doesn’t get much play in Mega Millions.
September 22, 2023 marked the 54th appearance of the {3-2-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 10, 13, 14, 57, 66 and MB 3, this Pattern has now played in 5.89% of the 917 Mega Millions drawings. The {3-2-1} Pattern was last seen April 18, 2023.
The [3-2-1] General Order, now with 30 appearances, has played in 55.6% of the 54 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 917 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 3.27% of the time. January 10, 2023 was the last time the [3-2-1] General Order was featured.
Now with three appearances, the 3 0 0 0 2 1 Specific Order has played in 10% of the 30 drawings where the General Order was [3-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.56% of the 54 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.33% of all 917 drawings. Prior to Saturday night, the 3 0 0 0 2 1 Specific Order played May 24, 2022.
Four repeating Three-Number Combinations were spotted:
Will this momentum carry over to Mega Millions’ first autumn drawing Tuesday night?
When you’ve said, “It’s like <insert whatever> times 100”, you meant that <insert whatever> is like <some other thing> is much better, or much worse. For example, if someone said a show is like “Game of Thrones: Season 8” times 100, then (s)he’s likely saying it’s a terrible show. No offense to anyone who liked “Game of Thrones: Season 8” of course. Sometimes, <insert whatever> times 100 is quite literal. When numbers are involved, like with Wednesday night’s Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings, it most certainly is literal.
September 20, 2023 was a night to remember, for sure. By the combined powers of both an Australia Play and an uncommon Pattern, the Lotto Texas and Powerball prizes grew to $7.25 million and $725 million, respectively. Yes, the Powerball prize was 100 times larger than Lotto Texas’s!
Thanks to winning numbers 10, 18, 28, 30, 43 and 45, both the {2-2-2} Pattern and the 2 2 2 Specific Order have played 312 times. An Australia Play has been featured in 14.1% of the 2218 Lotto Texas drawings and was last seen September 9, 2023.
Repeating Four-Number Combination 18, 28, 30 and 45 debuted May 30, 2007.
The {3-2-1} Pattern made its 57th appearance with winning numbers 16, 27, 59, 62, 63 and PB 23. This Pattern has now played in 6.06% of the 940 Powerball drawings and was last seen August 21, 2023.
The [2-3-1] General Order, now with 28 appearances, has played in 49.1% of the 57 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 940 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 2.98% of the time. May 6, 2023 was the last time we saw the [2-3-1] General Order.
Now with three appearances, the 0 2 0 0 3 1 Specific Order has played in 10.7% of the 28 drawings where the General Order was [2-3-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.26% of the 57 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.32% of the time. Prior to Wednesday night, the 0 2 0 0 3 1 Specific Order played October 4, 2017.
A trio of repeating Three-Number Combinations was spotted:
As Lotto Texas and Powerball leave summer behind, inquiring minds want to know how they’ll greet autumn. Will they fall in love with Pattern repeats, or will it be the jackpots that fall?
Summer’s just about over. For real, this time. The sun is rising later and setting earlier, temperatures are starting to (mostly) come down, and it’s pumpkin spice latte season once again. For Mega Millions, summer’s end taking a break from the madness of repeating Combinations and resisting the urge to feature Pattern encores. At least, that’s the path this lottery is taking so far.
The September 19, 2023 drawing is nothing like what we saw Friday night. The only similarity was a rising jackpot. As everything settled down, the jackpot grew to $205 million.
With winning numbers 6, 9, 13, 29, 66 and MB 24, the {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 172nd appearance. This Pattern has now played in 18.8% of the 916 Mega Millions drawings and was last seen September 5, 2023.
The [3-1-1-1] General Order, now with 65 appearances, has played in 37.8% of the 172 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 916 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 7.10% of the time. July 25, 2023 was the last time the [3-1-1-1] General Order played.
Now with five appearances, the 3 0 1 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in 7.69% of the 65 drawings where the General Order was [3-1-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 0.55% of all 916 drawings. Prior to Tuesday night, the 3 0 1 0 1 1 Specific Order played March 2, 2021.
A couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations were present:
Is Mega Millions resting up as part of a grand summer finale Friday night, or will this be the week to just chill?
Greetings, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here! Last night on September 18, 2023, it looked like Powerball was the most “powerful” game of the Lottery World since its jackpot had still been increasing for almost two months and was now up to $672 million and closing in on the $700 million mark. Let’s also not forget about its biggest record breaking $2 billion that was won in the middle of last Autumn. And now, the details.

Who knows how high Powerball will go this time and if it will reach $1 billion again? And, if it does, will it go even higher? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!
Sometimes, you may not have heard something right or just want to make sure you have the right information. The proper thing to do is ask the speaker to repeat what was just said. The speaker may or may not be annoyed by the request. Luckily, lotteries don’t have it in them to be annoyed. Sometimes, they’ll repeat and, like Lotto Texas and Powerball this past Saturday night, they’ll repeat without being prompted.
September 16, 2023 was a night for both a Pattern encore and a playback! Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw generous gains in their jackpots, growing to $6.75 million and $638 million, respectively.
The {3-3} Pattern made its 179th appearance with 6, 12, 16, 25, 26 and 34. This Pattern has now played in 8.08% of the 2216 Lotto Texas drawings.
Now with 63 appearances, the 3 3 0 Specific Order has played in 35.2% of the 179 drawings where {3-3} was the winning Pattern. Once all 2216 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 2.84% of the time.
Prior to Saturday night, both the {3-3} Pattern and the 3 3 0 Specific Order played August 30, 2023.
In addition to the playback, repeating Four-Number Combination 12, 16, 25 and 26 debuted May 25, 2002.
Powerball loved the {2-2-1-1} Pattern so much that it was asked to return Saturday night! With winning numbers 8, 11, 19, 24, 46 and PB 5, this Pattern has now played 279 times.

Two repeating Three-Number Combinations were spotted:
What repeats await Lotto Texas and Powerball’s players Monday night? Perhaps Powerball will get in on some playback action?
