As Queen once sang, “Another one gone, another one gone. Another one bites the dust!”
Powerball’s behemoth of a jackpot was sustained for several months with assists from a variety of plays, watered with the tears of frustration and anger from millions who sought to improve their financial situations. Another billion-dollar jackpot run came to an end July 19, 2023, forcing Powerball to reset to $20 million.
The night of July 19th was also beneficial to Lotto Texas’s jackpot. As everyone else went to surround the fallen prize next door, this lottery’s jackpot rose quietly to $9.25 million.

Powerball
General Lottery Analysis
The beastly jackpot was brought down by the {4-1-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 7, 10, 11, 13, 24 and PB 24, this Pattern has now played 24 times. The {4-1-1} Pattern has now played in 2.63% of the 913 Powerball drawings and was last seen February 8, 2023.
The [4-1-1] General Order, now with 10 appearances, has played in 41.7% of the 24 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 913 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 1.1% of the time. March 23, 2022 was the last time the [4-1-1] General Order played.
As the Powerball jackpot was being brought down to size, the 4 1 0 0 0 1 Specific Order decided that would be a good time to make its debut! This Specific Order has now played in 10% of the 10 drawings where the General Order was [4-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 4.17% of the 24 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.11% of all 913 drawings.

Repeating Three-Number Combinations were absent this go-around.
The climb back to one billion will be a long and arduous one. As Powerball readies itself to boost the jackpot again Saturday night, will Lotto Texas’s momentum continue?
