If you’ll excuse the bad pun, there was a shakeup Saturday night. On January 5, 2019, there were three repeating Four-Number Combinations. Where one of these showed up may surprise you!
Meanwhile, the grand prizes for Lotto Texas and Powerball went unclaimed; the jackpots are now $11.75 million and $82 million, respectively.

Four-Number Combination
Believe it or not, there was a repeating Four-Number Combination in Powerball! That Combination was 3, 27, 69, and PB 19.
This Combination made its debut in the March 5, 2016 drawing.
Three-Number Combinations
Naturally, when there is a repeating Four-Number Combination, four repeating Three-Number Combinations are bundled inside!
- 27, 69, PB 19
- 3, 69, PB 19
- 3, 27, PB 19
- 3, 27, 69
All four of these Combinations made their debut March 5, 2016. The last Combination, 3, 27, 69, is also special in that it played another time. The last time we saw it was in the June 25, 2016 drawing.
If Saturday night was anything to go by, 2019 looks to be an interesting year in the lottery world! Will either the {2-2-1-1} Pattern or the {3-2-1} Pattern make an appearance Wednesday night? Could another Four-Number Combination rear its head in Powerball?
