March 30, 2022 fell on a Wednesday, which meant the last drawings of the month for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. One thing for certain was that neither lottery ended the month quietly! A playback here, a similar spread there, among other things, not only gave these lotteries a power boost, but their jackpots received a boost as well! Lotto Texas gracefully rose to $7.75 million, and Powerball’s jackpot strolled upward and onward to $222 million.
Lotto Texas
General Lottery Analysis
With winning numbers 2, 4, 23, 30, 31 and 36, the {4-2} Pattern made its 213th appearance.
This Pattern has now played in 10.7% of the 1987 Lotto Texas drawings.
Now with 37 appearances, the 2 4 0 Specific Order has played in 17.4% of the 213 drawings where {4-2} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1987 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 1.86% of the time.
Both the {4-2} Pattern and the 2 4 0 Specific Order were last seen March 14, 2022.
Similar Spread
As if an uncommon Pattern making a mid-week appearance wasn’t enough, how about a similar spread to spice things up even more? Wednesday night’s numbers had a spread of 02:19:07:01:05. Similarly, the October 23, 2013 drawing had a spread of 01:05:19:02:07, thanks to 12, 13, 18, 37, 39 and 46. Looking closely, we can see that even though the differences between numbers both nights were the same, their orders (and the numbers played) were different.
Four-Number Combinations
Lotto Texas was brimming with so much energy that there was enough to spare for a couple of repeating Four-Number Combinations!
