After an extraordinary Saturday night for Lotto Texas and Powerball, things mellowed out considerably in Wednesday’s drawing. How mellow was it? Well, let’s find out.
Lotto Texas
The July 27, 2016 Lotto Texas drawing gave us the following winning numbers: 27, 37, 38, 40, 49, and 54.
These numbers played in the {5-1} Pattern, the first time since March 23, 2016. Currently, the {5-1} Pattern has played 47 times. Given that there have been 1363 Lotto Texas drawings, this pattern has played 3.45% of the time. In fact, the {5-1} Pattern has played the second least amount of times.
The {5-1} Pattern followed the 0 1 5 Specific Order, which has now played 9 times, and has appeared in 19.1% of the drawings in which the {5-1} Pattern has played. Recall that there have been 47 drawings where {5-1} was the winning Pattern. Taking all 1363 Lotto Texas drawings into account, we see that the 0 1 5 Specific Order has played 0.66% of the time. Prior to the July 27th drawing, we last saw the 0 1 5 Specific Order play on August 28, 2013.
We also saw a Four-Number Combination in the form of 27, 37, 38, and 54, which first played back on January 7, 2009.
Powerball
Powerball’s winning numbers were 10, 47, 50, 65, 68 and PB 24.
The {2-2-1-1} Pattern has now played 29 times, and prior to the July 27th drawing, this Pattern played July 23rd, 2016. Yes. It was this very pattern that was part of the July 23rd extravaganza! With 85 Powerball drawings to date, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played 34.1% of the time.
We saw the [1-2-2-1] General Order play for the first time since July 2, 2016. With 12 appearances to date
- The [1-2-2-1] General Order has appeared in roughly 41.4% (12 out of 29) of the drawings in which the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played and
- The [1-2-2-1] General Order has appeared in 14.1% (12 out of 85) of all Powerball drawings.
As of the July 27th Powerball drawing, the [1-2-2-1] General Order is the most commonly seen General Order associated with the {1-2-2-1} Pattern.
The [1-2-2-1] General Order gave way to the 1 0 0 2 2 1 Specific Order, which previously played on January 16, 2016. As of the July 27th drawing, the 1 0 0 2 2 1 Specific Order has played in 3 out of 12 drawings in which the [1-2-2-1] General Order has appeared. That’s an even 25%. Taking it even further
- The 1 0 0 2 2 1 Specific Order has played in 10.3% (3 out of 29) drawings in which the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played and
- The 1 0 0 2 2 1 Specific Order has played in 3.53% (3 out of 85) of all Powerball drawings.
Remember, the month isn’t over yet. Is the July 27th drawing just the calm before the storm?
