Two Patterns: Three Times

July has come and gone for Lotto Texas and Powerball, and things ended with them joined at the hip. In the last two drawings, both have had their most commonly seen Patterns make appearances together. The July 29^th drawing marked the third time in a row that this has occurred. Not only that, these Patterns can’t go without having some sort of Combination action taking place. “Two” has become the favorite number for repeating Four-Number Combinations that show up in Lotto Texas. Powerball decided that one repeating Three-Number Combination was enough.

Lotto Texas

Saturday’s winning numbers were 15, 20, 22, 24, 37, and 38, bringing the number of appearances of the {3-2-1} Pattern to 763.

This Pattern has played in 52% of the 1468 Lotto Texas drawings.

The 1 3 2 Specific Order made its 117^th appearance, and has now played in 15.3% of the 763 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 7.97% of all 1468 drawings, and was last seen a few weeks ago in the July 12^th drawing.

The repeating Four-Number Combinations of the evening were

• 15, 20, 37, 38 (Debuted April 19^th, 2008)
• 15, 20, 22, 24 (Debuted March 18^th, 2009)

Will it be another eight or so years before these Combinations appear again?

Powerball

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 70^th appearance, with winning numbers 1, 28, 40, 45, 48, and PB 12.

This Pattern has now played in 36.8% of the 190 Powerball drawings.

Making its 21^st appearance, the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has played in 30% of the 70 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 11.1% of all 190 drawings. This General Order did not appear alongside the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern in this past Wednesday’s drawing. We last saw this General Order in the June 14^th, 2017 drawing.

With three appearances, the 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order has played in roughly 14.3% of the 21 drawings where the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in roughly 4.29% of the 70 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.58% of all 190 drawings. Prior to Saturday night, this Specific Order had played in the March 1^st, 2017 drawing.

The repeating Three-Number Combination was 1, 40, 48.

This Combination made its debut in the December 17^th, 2016 drawing.

Will the {3-2-1} and the {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns make another joint appearance to kick off August?
