The Three-peat & Spread Show, with Special Guests Repeating Combinations

With another Christmas come and gone, Lotto Texas and Powerball have set their sights on the future. In a few days, it’ll be 2023, and if what we’ve seen so far this week is any indication, these lotteries don’t plan on ending the year quietly!

December 28, 2022 featured more madness with a Pattern three-peat and similar spread. Those, along with the joys of repeating Combinations, gave the Lotto Texas and Powerball jackpots hearty boosts to $26.5 million and $246 million, respectively.

Similar Spread

Wednesday night’s numbers had a spread of 05:03:07:04:25. Similarly, 5, 30, 37, 42, 45 and 49, the featured numbers of the August 27, 2016 drawing, had a spread of 25:07:05:03:04. Remember that when dealing with a similar spread, the differences between numbers are the same, but their orders (and the numbers played), are different.

Four-Number Combinations

Even with a similar spread, there was enough room for a couple of repeating Four-Number Combinations:
