If you like rare Patterns, then you were in for a treat Wednesday night! Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw some of their least-commonly seen Patterns in the July 19, 2017 drawing. In addition to these rare Patterns playing, both lotteries saw Specific Orders that hadn’t played in two years, or thereabouts.
Lotto Texas
The winning numbers were 1, 3, 11, 15, 16, and 50, bringing the number of appearances of the {5-1} Pattern to 52.
This Pattern has played in 3.55% of the 1465 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen in the March 25, 2017 drawing.
Making its third appearance, the 5 0 1 Specific Order has played in 5.77% of the 52 drawings where the {5-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 0.20% of all 1465 drawings. This Specific Order previously played a little over a couple of years ago in the June 13, 2015 drawing.
Lotto Texas felt the {5-1} Pattern was enough, for there were no repeating Four-Number Combinations.
Powerball
The {3-2-1} made its eighth appearance, with winning numbers 50, 51, 59, 61, 63, and PB 4.
This Pattern has played in 4.28% of the 187 Powerball drawings, and previously played in the April 12, 2017 drawing.
With six appearances, the [2-3-1] General Order has played in 75% of the eight drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 3.21% of all 187 drawings. This General Order played alongside the {3-2-1} Pattern in the April 12, 2017 drawing.
Now with two appearances, the 0 0 0 2 3 1 Specific Order has played in approximately 33.3% of the six drawings where the [2-3-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 25% of the eight drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.07% of all 187 Powerball drawings. The 0 0 0 2 3 1 Specific Order made its debut in the October 17, 2015 drawing.
There was one lone repeating Three-Number Combination, and it was 59, 63, and PB 4.
This Combination made its debut in the July 2, 2016 drawing.
Looking ahead to Saturday, will any of these rare Patterns make an encore appearance?
