Breakfast (or brunch) in bed too cliché?
Couldn’t get the flowers she wanted?
Wanted to do something grand for Mother’s Day, but ran out of time?
Well, how about the lottery and if you’re in Texas, how about two of them?
May 11, 2019 had the honor of being the Saturday before Mother’s Day. Lotto Texas and Powerball honored moms everywhere by playing some of their most uncommonly seen Patterns. That, and the grand prizes in both lotteries went unclaimed. The prize for Lotto Texas climbed to $5.5 million and Powerball ascended to a monstrous $250 million. Yet, despite the monster growing in Powerball, Lotto Texas was the wilder of the two.
Lotto Texas
General Lottery Analysis
With winning numbers 12, 22, 24, 32, 33, and 48, the {4-1-1} Pattern made its 179th appearance.
Of the 1654 drawings, this Pattern has played 10.8% of the time.
Now with 60 appearances, the 1 4 1 Specific Order has played in 33.5% of the 179 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1654 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 3.63% of the time.
One way in which Lotto Texas was the wilder lottery was that it saw a playback! Both the {4-1-1} Pattern and the 1 4 1 Specific Order were last seen in the April 20, 2019 drawing.
Four-Number Combination(s)
Another element to Lotto Texas’s wild side was a repeating Four-Number Combination that played for the third time! Lone repeater 24, 32, 33, and 48 made its debut October 13th, 2012.
This Combination was also seen September 17, 2016.

Regardless of how Saturday night turned out, Mother’s Day isn’t about fancy gifts for your mom. Sometimes, making something simple and spending time with her is the best gift of all. A Happy Mother’s Day to all our readers, wherever your mothers may be.
Looking to the week ahead, we’re nearing the home stretch for the school year in many places. Powerball certainly has a monster on its hands, and what a wild way to start summer if the beast is finally caught at the end of the month! Lotto Texas, on the other hand, will continue its mellowness, with a dash of wild here and there.
