Uncommon Gifts for Mother’s Day

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 179^th 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 13^th, 2012.

This Combination was also seen September 17 , 2016.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-2-1} Pattern made its 24^th appearance with winning numbers 6, 8, 9, 37, 40, and PB 26.

Of the 376 Powerball drawings, this Pattern has played 6.38% of the time and was last seen January 23 , 2019.

The [3-2-1] General Order, now with twelve appearances, has played in 50% of the 24 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 3.19% of all 376 drawings. Prior to Saturday night, the [3-2-1] General Order played October 27 , 2018.

Now with two appearances, the 3 0 2 0 0 1 Specific Order has played in roughly 16.7% of the twelve drawings where the General Order was [3-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 8.33% of the 24 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 376 drawings have been taken into consideration, the 3 0 2 0 0 1 Specific Order has played 0.53% of the time. This Specific Order played for the first time on February 18 , 2017.

Three-Number Combination(s)

The lone repeating Three-Number Combination, 8, 40, and PB 26, debuted July 8 , 2017.

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.

Mega Millions’ Playback Comeback

Before we get to today’s Mega Millions analysis, I want to once again thank Romulun Harris for filling in while I was away in Tulsa for business. If you’re in Tulsa, and you like ramen/Asian fusion, be sure to check out Yokozuna. The pork belly ramen is amazing!

I wasn’t the only one who returned May 10, 2019. Mega Millions received a visit from a Pattern that made an appearance sometime last week. That Pattern had a hand in thwarting players once again, and the grand prize rose to an astounding $316 million!

But, the Pattern can’t take all the credit; it most certainly did not act alone.

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 3, 16, 21, 61, 62, and MB 19, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 132^nd appearance.

Of the 461 Mega Millions drawings so far, this Pattern has played 28.6% of the time.

The [1-2-2-1] General Order, now with 46 appearances, has played in 34.8% of the 132 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 461 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Pattern has played 9.98% of the time.

Now with five appearances, the 1 2 0 0 2 1 Specific Order has played in 10.9% of the 46 drawings where the General Order was [1-2-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in roughly 3.79% of the 132 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.08% of all 461 drawings.

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern, [1-2-2-1] General Order, and the 1 2 0 0 2 1 Specific Order showed up together on May 3 , 2019. Indeed, ‘twas a playback responsible for the prize rise!

Three-Number Combination(s)

The playback didn’t come alone. There were four repeating Three-Number Combinations!

3, 16, 61 (Debuted September 30, 2014)
16, 61, 62 (Debuted October 10 , 2017)
21, 61, 62 (Debuted September 29, 2015)
3, 61, 62 (Debuted November 14, 2014)

A good night for repeating Three-Number Combinations! Source: lotterytrend-megamillions.com.

Perhaps Tuesday night will see a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore, or perhaps we’ll see that monster of a jackpot rise again. One thing that’s certain is that we won’t know what’s in that Mega Millions box until we open it. The most important takeaway for a lottery is that anything is possible!

Well, soon will come the flying of sombreros and shouts of “OLE!” This is guest blogger Romulun Harris signing off and wishing you a Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Hey, Hey, Hey! A Double Play for May

Lotto Texas and Powerball had the joint honor of kicking off the month. Great minds thought alike May 1^st as both, yes both, lotteries saw Pattern encores! They also shared a love of thwarting all efforts to win the jackpot. With no grand prize winners in either Lotto Texas or Powerball, their respective pots are now $6.25 million and $199 million.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-2-1} Pattern made its 869^th appearance with winning numbers 5, 7, 17, 25, 42, and 50.

Of the 1651 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 52.6% of the time. This appearance of the {3-2-1} Pattern is really a three-peat. The last we saw of this Pattern was the April 27, 2019 drawing and before then, April 24, 2019.

Now with 165 appearances, the 3 1 2 Specific Order played in roughly 19% of the 869 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1651 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 9.99% of the time. Prior to Wednesday night, the 3 1 2 Specific Order played March 16, 2019.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Both the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern and the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order were last seen April 27, 2019. It turned out that not only did the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern make an encore, so did the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order! Could this mean a playback was in the cards for Powerball?

Not necessarily. With its eighth appearance, the 1 2 0 1 1 1 Specific Order has played in 20.5% of the 39 drawings where the General Order was [1-2-1-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.80% of the 138 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 373 drawings are considered, this Specific Order has played 2.14% of the time.

This Combination made its debut June 6, 2018.

Will this coming Saturday night be one full of Pattern streaks?

The only thing certain is that Mega Millions will be starting May with a jackpot just above a quarter of a billion dollars. May is also the unofficial start of summer, if the theme park commercials aren’t a sign. Will the blockbuster jackpot grow after Friday’s drawing, or will the prize be claimed?
