Seasons Greetings, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here. Last night on December 12, 2022, as the title implies, silver and gold did come to the Lottery World—and it was bigger than tinsel. That silver and gold came in the form of an Australia Play in Lotto Texas and Powerball’s frequently played {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. And now the details.
LOTTO TEXAS
Analysis
Courtesy of winning numbers, 3, 7, 23, 26, 42, and 47, Lotto Texas experienced its 297th Australia Play.

As of this moment, the {2-2-2} Pattern and 2 2 2 Specific Order have now played 14.16% of all 2097 Lotto Texas drawings and last played on December 5, 2022.
Wow! exactly a week after it last played! And it also played beforehand on December 3, 2022.
Four-Number Combination Repeat(s)
There were no Four-Number Combination Repeats to be found at this time.
Ain’t that a coincidence? The same thing happened the last two times the Australia Play occurred!
