January 22, 2022 was when it happened. A great madness descended upon the lottery world. Lotto Texas saw both and encore and a playback. This was minor compared to the madness that afflicted Powerball. There, a repeating Four-Number Combination surfaced. Naturally, a repeating Four-Number Combination never acts alone, and to say nothing of the other repeating Three-Number Combinations that didn’t spring from it! This sea of madness fueled the rise of the Lotto Texas and Powerball jackpots to $7.25 million and $82 million, respectively.

Four-Number Combination

Repeating Four-Number Combination 8, 14, 67 and PB 17 debuted September 6, 2017.

Three-Number Combinations

Naturally, a repeating Four-Number Combination is accompanied by four repeating Three-Number Combinations:

• 8, 14, 67
• 8, 14, PB 17
• 14, 67, PB 17
• 8, 67, PB 17

All the Combinations above debuted in the previously mentioned September 6^th drawing. However, Powerball wasn’t done! Three more repeating Three-Number Combinations came forth:

• 14, 33, PB 17 (Debuted January 5, 2022)
• 14, 36, 67 (Debuted September 30, 2020)
• 14, 36, PB 17 (Debuted May 5, 2018)

Playbacks and a bombardment of Combinations will certainly shake things up in a lottery routine! One thing to keep an eye on in the week ahead is that {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas. That’s the most common Pattern in that lottery, and it’s been known to show up multiple times in a row. As to whether we’ll see another bombardment of repeating Combinations and more playbacks? That remains to be seen.
