The steady rain from Wednesday night turned into a downpour Saturday. What sprouted after the rains of April 29th were big plays for both Lotto Texas and Powerball.
Lotto Texas
One of the big events in Lotto Texas was the return of the Australia Play! As is the nature of such a play, the {2-2-2} Pattern and the 2 2 2 Specific Order made their 194th appearance. The winning numbers were 2, 5, 25, 35, 41, and 53.
Prior to Saturday night, the last time an Australia Play came about was in the February 22, 2017 drawing. The Australia Play has now appeared in 13.5% of 1442 Lotto Texas drawings.
Saturday’s Australia Play also harbored two repeating Four-Number Combinations. These were
- 2, 35, 41, 53 (Debuted August 6, 2011) and
- 2, 25, 35, 41 (Debuted July 5, 2014)
Powerball
The {3-1-1-1} Pattern made an encore appearance, with winning numbers 22, 23, 24, 45, 62, and PB 5.
Now with 31 appearances, this Pattern has played in 18.9% of the 164 Powerball drawings.
The [3-1-1-1] General Order made its eighth appearance, and has played in 25.8% of the 31 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 4.88% of all 164 drawings. The [3-1-1-1] had previously played in the January 11, 2017 drawing.
Getting into specifics, the 0 3 0 1 1 1 Specific Order made its third appearance. This Specific Order has played in 37.5% of the 8 drawings where the [3-1-1-1] General Order appeared, 9.68% of the 31 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.83% of all Powerball drawings. Prior to Saturday, the 0 3 0 1 1 1 Specific Order previously played in the November 19, 2016 drawing.
Last, but certainly not least, a Three-Number Combination made a repeat appearance! The Combination was 22, 45, and PB 5.
This Combination made its debut in the November 14, 2015 drawing.
With April behind us and with May on the way, will a trend of big plays be established for Lotto Texas and Powerball?
