Another Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone. People took to the skies and roads once again on November 25th, wanting to beat the mad rush home that would surely await them if they left Sunday. Lotto Texas sent along a playback. That is, both the Pattern and Specific Order were seen together on a previous date. Meanwhile, Powerball ran into a Pattern encore.
Lotto Texas
General Lottery Analysis
The {3-2-1} Pattern made its 780th appearance in Saturday’s drawing, with winning numbers 7, 10, 12, 22, 44, and 51.
This Pattern has played in 51.9% of the 1502 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen on November 8, 2017.
Now with 144 appearances, the 3 1 2 Specific Order has played in 18.5% of the 780 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 9.59% of all 1502 drawings. As is the nature of a playback, this Specific Order accompanied the {3-2-1} Pattern November 8th. Note that a playback is not an Australia Play. Remember that with the latter, both the Pattern and the Specific Order would be the same. For Lotto Texas, that would be the {2-2-2} Pattern and the 2 2 2 Specific Order, respectively.
Here’s a good rule of thumb to abide by: All Australia Plays are playbacks, but not all playbacks are Australia Plays.
Four-Number Combination(s)
Among Saturday’s numbers was the repeating Four-Number Combination 7, 10, 12, 22.
This Combination made its debut in the December 30, 2015 drawing. Could Lotto Texas end the year with a repeating Four-Number Combination just like it did two years ago?
Powerball
General Lottery Analysis
Right off the heels of Wednesday’s drawing, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 69th appearance. This time, the winning numbers were 8, 13, 27, 53, 54, and PB 4.

Making its fourth appearance was the 2 1 0 2 0 1 Specific Order. This Specific Order has now played in 17.4% of the 23 drawings where the [2-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. It has also played in roughly 5.8% of the 69 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. Finally, when taking all 224 drawings into account, this Specific Order has played 1.79% of the time. The 2 1 0 2 0 1 Specific Order accompanied the [2-1-2-1] General Order in the November 4th drawing.
Three-Number Combination(s)
Saturday’s Powerball drawing produced the repeating Three-Number Combination 8, 53, and 54.
This Combination made its debut earlier this year. More specifically, the April 5, 2017 drawing.
Will there be more Pattern encores to end the month?
