April 24, 2019 marked the end of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak in Powerball. It also marked the end of a short break from the madness brought about by said streak and an exact spread in Lotto Texas. Although not nearly as wild as what happened last week, Wednesday night was far from a snoozer. For starters, the night had its fill of repeating Combinations of both the Three-Number and Four-Number kind.
If you love crazy-high jackpots (we know you do!), Powerball is on its way to a $166 million grand prize Saturday night. Lotto Texas kept its cool, easing upwards to $5.75 million.

Powerball
General Lottery Analysis
The {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 76th appearance with winning numbers 6, 32, 35, 36, 65, and PB 4.
Of the 371 Powerball drawings, this Pattern has played 20.5% of the time. Like the {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas, this Pattern was last seen April 3, 2019.
The [1-3-1-1] General Order, now with 20 appearances, has played in 26.3% of the 76 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 5.39% of all 371 drawings. This General Order was last seen March 2, 2019.
Now with two appearances, the 1 0 3 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in 10% of the 20 drawings where the General Order was [1-3-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 2.63% of the 76 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.54% of all 371 drawings. We first saw the 1 0 3 0 1 1 Specific Order in the January 6, 2018 drawing.
Three-Number Combination(s)
There were two repeating Three-Number Combinations:
- 6, 32, 65 (Debuted February 25, 2017)
- 32, 36, 65 (Debuted April 1, 2017)
The {3-2-1} Pattern is fond of encores, and the {3-1-1-1} Pattern had dipped its toes in the encore pool from time to time. Encores or no, Lotto Texas and Powerball look to finish the month on a strong note. Will someone walk away with a grand prize Saturday night, or will May start to look like “crazy-large jackpot” territory?
