The storm once known as Harvey is dead and done, now nothing more than a rain system pushing up and out through the eastern United States. Although the Sun is out, and blue skies are a much welcome sight, the aftermath will be felt for some time. The waters will recede, the clean-up will take place, and everyone impacted by the storm will eventually return to their “normal” lives. Add in the videos and photos that have made their rounds on the Internet, not to mention the records that have been broken, Harvey will be one for the history books. Regardless of your beliefs, or lack thereof, Nature is truly awe-some.
Meanwhile, in Lottery World, neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball broke any records August 30, 2017. However, there was nothing “ho-hum” about how each lottery ended the month.
Lotto Texas
With winning numbers 11, 16, 17, 44, 52, and 54, the not-so-common {3-3} Pattern made its 126th appearance.
This Pattern has now played in 8.53% of the 1477 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen May 24, 2017.
Now with 47 appearances, the 3 0 3 Specific Order has played in 37.3% of the 126 drawings where the {3-3} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 3.18% of all 1477 drawings. The 3 0 3 Specific Order played alongside the {3-3} Pattern in the May 24th drawing.
The repeating Four-Number Combination of the evening was 16, 17, 44, and 54.
Unlike most repeating Four-Number Combinations we’ve covered, this one has appeared twice before:
- Debuted June 22, 2013
- Last seen in the July 16, 2016 drawing
Powerball
Wednesday’s winning numbers for Powerball were 19, 28, 43, 67, 69, and PB 7, bringing the number of appearances of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern to 58.
This Pattern has now played in 29.1% of the 199 drawings to date, and previously played in the July 12, 2017 drawing.
Now with 18 appearances, the [2-1-2-1] General Order has played in 31% of the 58 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 9.04% of all 199 drawings. Prior to Wednesday, this General Order was last seen in the May 17, 2017 drawing.
Making its second appearance, the 0 2 0 1 2 1 Specific Order has played in 11.1% of the 18 drawings where the [2-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 3.45% of the 58 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in about 1% of all 199 drawings. The 0 2 0 1 2 1 Specific Order made its debut in the May 3, 2017 drawing.
The lone repeating Three-Number Combination of the evening was 28, 67, and 69.
This Combination made its debut in the September 21, 2016 drawing.
Will either the {3-3} or {2-2-1-1} Pattern make an encore appearance? Will there be repeating Four-Number or Three-Number Combinations that have appeared multiple times before?
