The Saturday Night Combination Scene

As people are busy living it up on Saturday nights, Lotto Texas and Powerball go about “combinationing”. The act of “combinationing” involves presenting repeating Three or Four-Number Combinations to the world. As of late, Saturday nights have been a boon for the Combination scene, and the October 1, 2022 scene was poppin’!  

Both lotteries got in on the combination scene Saturday night. Would you believe that it was Lotto Texas that had the biggest display? This was in addition to a Pattern encore that pushed the jackpot to $6.5 million. Powerball was no slouch, either. A lack of a Pattern encore was no deterrent for the jackpot rising to $336 million.

Five Number Combination

The real reason for Lotto Texas’s grand Combination display was the appearance of a repeating Five-Number Combination. The Combination 14, 19, 20, 32 and 52 debuted February 21, 2022. That was seven months ago!

Four-Number Combinations

Of course, that repeating Five-Number Combination bore five repeating Four-Number Combinations. Two of these had the audacity to play twice before:

  • 19, 20, 32, 52 (Debuted February 21, 2022)
  • 14, 20, 32, 52 (Debuted February 6, 2002 and previously played February 21, 2022)

Will Mega Millions stick with the {2-2-1-1} Pattern Tuesday night, or will a different Pattern have a shot?
