Autumn has arrived in Lottery Trend Country. This is a time of cooler temperatures, shortening daytime hours, and of course, pumpkin spice lattes. Before we get far down the rabbit hole of said lattes and autumnal spices, we have the matter of the Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings to cover. September 23rd didn’t see a blowout for either lottery, but there were a couple of interesting plays, especially in Powerball.
Lotto Texas
With winning numbers 8, 10, 14, 17, 28, and 29, the {4-2} Pattern has now played 168 times.

This Pattern has played in 11.3% of the 1484 Lotto Texas drawings, and prior to Saturday night, was last seen on September 13, 2017.
Making its 33rd appearance, the 4 2 0 Specific Order has played in 19.6% of the 168 drawings where the {4-2} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 2.22% of all 1484 drawings, and previously played on August 16, 2017.
There were no repeating Four-Number Combinations this time.
Powerball
The 39th appearance of the {3-1-1-1} Pattern was marked by winning numbers 24, 45, 55, 56, 57, and PB 19.

This Pattern has played in 18.9% of the 206 drawings, and was last seen August 12, 2017.
Now with thirteen appearances, the [1-3-1-1] General Order has played in roughly 33.3% of the 39 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 6.31% of all 206 drawings. We last saw the [1-3-1-1] General Order in the May 24, 2017 drawing.
The 0 1 0 3 1 1 Specific Order made its second appearance, and has now played in 15.4% of the 13 drawings where the [1-3-1-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 5.13% of the 39 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 0.97% of all 206 drawings. This Specific Order hadn’t been seen in nearly eighteen months. In fact, it made its debut in the March 30, 2016 drawing.
The repeating Three-Number Combinations of the evening were
- 24, 57, PB 19 (Debuted September 13, 2017)
- 24, 55, PB 19 (Debuted March 30, 2016)

Will either the {4-2} or the {3-1-1-1} Pattern see an encore Wednesday night?
