Lotto Texas had some of the biggest upsets this past Saturday night. The {3-2-1} Pattern, having already played three times in a row, did not go on to a fourth appearance. With the King of Lotto Texas Patterns knocked off the throne, the prize rose to a respectable $6.5 million.
Meanwhile, Powerball found itself getting acquainted with not just a Pattern encore, but a General Order encore as well! The beast of a jackpot continued its rampage unabated. It happily welcomed a growth spurt and shot up to $325 million.
What all was responsible for the madness that took place May 25, 2019?

General Lottery Analysis
Fresh from this past Wednesday night, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern came back for more with winning numbers 1, 2, 39, 43, 66, and PB 2.
This Pattern has played in 142 of the 380 Powerball drawings.
The [2-1-1-1-1] General Order was also struck with a case of “Encore Fever”. Now with 39 appearances, this General Order has played in 27.5% of the 142 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 380 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 10.3% of the time.
Both the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern and the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order played May 22, 2019!
Now with six appearances, the 2 0 1 1 1 1 Specific Order has played in 15.4% of the 39 drawings where the General Order was [2-1-1-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 4.23% of the 142 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.58% of all 380 drawings. Prior to Saturday night, the 2 0 1 1 1 1 Specific Order played October 12, 2018.
Three-Number Combination(s)
Riding along were two repeating Three-Number Combinations:
- 1, 2, 39 (Debuted February 9, 2019)
- 2, 66, MB 2 (Debuted November 28, 2015)
With May nearly done, Powerball has the jackpot momentum going for it. Wednesday will be the last drawing of the month for both lotteries and it remains to be seen if Powerball will surge onward to June or if the prize will be claimed. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is fond of Pattern streaks, or at least trying to establish them, so a three-peat is something we’ll need to keep an eye on.
Lotto Texas, the ever-so-quiet one, can’t be counted out. The prize is nothing to sneeze at and it’s possible that the {4-2} Pattern may well surprise us!
