September 2, 2020 was a win for lottery high society.
The euphoria was strong in Lotto Texas. So strong, in fact, that it didn’t notice the mob of players on the country club grounds, just itching to take it down. Their efforts failed, and the winnings climbed to $37.5 million. Ah well, they thought. Let’s try for Powerball.
Except, the mob had been escorted off the premises before they could go for Powerball. As it, too, saw no grand prize winners, the jackpot rose to $66 million.
Lotto Texas
General Lottery Analysis
The mob got a swift kick to the pants with an Australia Play. With winning numbers 7, 13, 26, 32, 46 and 54, the {2-2-2} Pattern and the 2 2 2 Specific Order made their 242nd appearance together.
An Australia Play has been present in 13.5% of the 1791 Lotto Texas drawings. One was last seen in the August 12, 2020 drawing.
Four-Number Combinations
Bounding along were two repeating Four-Number Combinations:
- 7, 13, 32, 46 (Debuted August 22, 2015)
- 13, 26, 32, 46 (Debuted November 25, 2000)
If you’re reading this, there’s a high chance you’re old enough to play the lottery. Consider for a moment that for some of you, the second Combination debuted before you were born (or on your birthday)!
