Lotto Texas and Powerball finally slept off the Thanksgiving leftovers and jumped into the Christmas madness Saturday night. Powerball was the most energetic, with its {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore and the presence of a repeating Four-Number Combination! Speaking of, the presence of a repeating Four-Number Combination wasn’t all that Lotto Texas and Powerball had in common. With neither lottery seeing a grand prize winner, their respective jackpots rose to $11.5 million and $140 million.

Four-Number Combination
In an interesting turn of events, a repeating Four-Number Combination popped up! The Combination was 42, 53, 62, and PB 25.
This Combination debuted in the December 29, 2018 drawing.
Three-Number Combination(s)
Of course, we mustn’t forget that whenever you slice open a repeating Four-Number Combination, four repeating Three-Number Combinations will slide out:
- 42, 53, 62
- 42, 53, PB 25
- 42, 62, PB 25
- 53, 62, PB 25
Naturally, these Combinations debuted in the earlier-mentioned December 28th, drawing. There was one other repeating Three-Number Combination, 18, 62, and 66, which debuted January 25, 2017.
With 2.5 weeks left before Christmas, there’s plenty of time for Pattern streaks to get established and for jackpots to enter crazy-high territory (like Mega Millions). Will Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern have a streak for the ages, or will another Pattern block its chances of a three-peat Wednesday night? Will Lotto Texas’s {4-2} Pattern do something “uncharacteristic” and go for the encore?
