This past Saturday and January 9, 2019 were worlds apart. On Saturday, we saw repeating Four-Number Combinations in both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Wednesday…was not like that. The lotteries took a subtler approach; no encores, no fireworks. Their respective grand prizes rose quietly to $12.5 million and $96 million. But, as (comparatively) quiet as things were, Wednesday night was far from boring!
Lotto Texas
General Lottery Analysis
With winning numbers 5, 8, 16, 17, 37, and 52, the {4-2} Pattern made its 175th appearance.
Of the 1619 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 10.8% of the time and was last seen December 19, 2018.

Four-Number Combination(s)
Joined at the hip was lone repeating Four-Number Combination 5, 8, 16, and 37.
This Combination made its debut in the December 11th, 2013 drawing.
Powerball
General Lottery Analysis
As quiet as Wednesday night may have appeared, Powerball had the most momentum. The 24th-ever Australia Play was thanks to winning numbers 6, 19, 37, 49, 59, and PB 22!
Given the 341 Powerball drawings, the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order, and the 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order have all played 7.04% of the time. We last saw an Australia Play right after Christmas. More specifically, on December 26, 2018.
Three-Number Combinations
The repeating Three-Number Combination of the evening was 6, 59, and PB 22.
This Combination debuted September 9, 2017.
Will the “quiet approach” continue Saturday night, or will Lotto Texas and Powerball be touched with weekend madness?
