Lotto Texas and Powerball are stuck together. That’s just the way it is. Every Wednesday and Saturday, they do their thing, and we do our thing by bringing you analysis. Last summer, we saw that these lotteries can be stuck together in other ways. March 3^rd saw a shade of that.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

It was exactly one week ago that Lotto Texas saw an Australia Play. With winning numbers 5, 14, 23, 32, 42, and 52, it made its 210^th appearance. Both the {2-2-2} Pattern and the 2 2 2 Specific Order have now played in 13.7% of the 1530 drawings.

Four-Number Combination(s)

As of late, Australia Plays have a love for repeating Four-Number Combinations!

• 5, 23, 32, 42 (Debuted August 16^th, 2008)
• 14, 23, 32, 52 (Debuted February 6^th, 2002, and was last seen April 26^th, 2006)

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 13, 17, 25, 36, 40, and PB 5, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 74^th appearance.

Now with 252 Powerball drawings to date, this Pattern has played 29.4% of the time. Like Lotto Texas’s {2-2-2} Pattern, this Pattern was also seen in the February 24^th, 2018 drawing.

With 21 appearances, the [1-2-2-1] General Order has played in 28.4% of the 74 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. When looking at all 252 drawings, this General Order has played 8.33% of the time. Prior to Saturday night, this General Order was last seen on October 28^th, 2017.

Now with four appearances, the 1 2 2 0 0 1 Specific Order has played in roughly 19% of the 21 drawings where [1-2-2-1] was the General Order of the evening. This Specific Order has also been seen in 5.41% of the 74 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.59% of all 252 drawings. We last saw the 1 2 2 0 0 1 Specific Order in the September 24^th, 2016 drawing.

Three-Number Combination(s)

The lone repeating Three-Number Combination, 13, 25, PB 5, made its debut in the March 18^th, 2017 drawing.

Will the {2-2-2} Pattern and {2-2-1-1} Pattern make an encore together in Wednesday’s drawing?
