With a new season in full swing, and two lotteries at play, there were two different approaches to Saturday night’s drawings. One lottery stuck with a Pattern that was featured mid-week. Meanwhile, the other lottery thought a new Pattern was a more fitting start to the season. All things considered, Lotto Texas and Powerball were pleased as punch to see their respective jackpots grow to $5.75 million and $285 million.
Lotto Texas
General Lottery Analysis
Instead of an Australia Play three-peat, Lotto Texas went for a {3-2-1} Pattern instead. The 1088th {3-2-1} Pattern was thanks to 3, 17, 18, 19, 40 and 49.
This Pattern has now played in 52.7% of the 2063 Lotto Texas drawings. Before the September 24, 2022 drawing, the {3-2-1} Pattern was last seen September 17, 2022.
Now with 201 appearances, the 3 1 2 Specific Order has played in 18.5% of the 1088 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 2063 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 9.74% of the time. Prior to Saturday night, the 3 1 2 Specific Order played August 31, 2022.

Both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the {2-2-1-1} Pattern are known for repeat appearances. Will the last week of September be one of Pattern streaks, or a mishmash of other Patterns?
