Of Shattered Streaks and Jackpot Beasts

Lotto Texas had some of the biggest upsets this past Saturday night. The {3-2-1} Pattern, having already played three times in a row, did not go on to a fourth appearance. With the King of Lotto Texas Patterns knocked off the throne, the prize rose to a respectable $6.5 million.

Meanwhile, Powerball found itself getting acquainted with not just a Pattern encore, but a General Order encore as well! The beast of a jackpot continued its rampage unabated. It happily welcomed a growth spurt and shot up to $325 million.

What all was responsible for the madness that took place May 25, 2019?

The {4-2} Pattern made sure a {3-2-1} Pattern streak couldn’t be solidified. With winning numbers 8, 17, 21, 30, 31, and 35, the {4-2} Pattern made its 179th appearance.

Of the 1658 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 10.8% of the time and was last seen April 17, 2019.

Now with thirty appearances, the 2 4 0 Specific Order has played in 16.8% of the 179 drawings where {4-2} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1658 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 1.81% of the time. The 2 4 0 Specific Order was last seen June 21, 2017.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Sitting on the Pattern throne was all the {4-2} Pattern was interested in. There were no repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Fresh from this past Wednesday night, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern came back for more with winning numbers 1, 2, 39, 43, 66, and PB 2.

This Pattern has played in 142 of the 380 Powerball drawings.

The [2-1-1-1-1] General Order was also struck with a case of “Encore Fever”. Now with 39 appearances, this General Order has played in 27.5% of the 142 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 380 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 10.3% of the time.

Both the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern and the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order played May 22, 2019!

Now with six appearances, the 2 0 1 1 1 1 Specific Order has played in 15.4% of the 39 drawings where the General Order was [2-1-1-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 4.23% of the 142 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.58% of all 380 drawings. Prior to Saturday night, the 2 0 1 1 1 1 Specific Order played October 12, 2018.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Riding along were two repeating Three-Number Combinations:

With May nearly done, Powerball has the jackpot momentum going for it. Wednesday will be the last drawing of the month for both lotteries and it remains to be seen if Powerball will surge onward to June or if the prize will be claimed. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is fond of Pattern streaks, or at least trying to establish them, so a three-peat is something we’ll need to keep an eye on.

Lotto Texas, the ever-so-quiet one, can’t be counted out. The prize is nothing to sneeze at and it’s possible that the {4-2} Pattern may well surprise us!

Mega Millions’ Change of Plans?

Maybe it was due to the long holiday weekend. Perhaps it was because Mega Millions wanted the beastly jackpot to continue its rampage for a bit longer. Whatever the reason, the idea of a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore got tossed in the trash for the May 24, 2019 drawing. Besides, making the prize rise to $418 million is more fun, for Mega Millions at least. A look at the analysis for Friday night will shed some light on why.

General Lottery Analysis

This lottery took back the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, and given the history between the two, it wasn’t all that surprising. With winning numbers 14, 41, 44, 56, 62, and MB 10, this Pattern has now played 203 times.

Of the 465 Mega Millions drawings, this Pattern has played 43.7% of the time and was last seen May 17, 2019.

The [1-1-2-1-1] General Order, now with 53 appearances, has played in 26.1% of the 203 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 465 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 11.4% of the time. Prior to Friday night, the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order played February 8, 2019.

Now with 14 appearances, the 1 0 1 2 1 1 Specific Order has played in 26.4% of the 53 drawings where the General Order was [1-1-2-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 6.90% of the 203 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 3.01% of all 465 drawings. The 1 0 1 2 1 1 Specific Order was last seen January 29, 2019.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Even with a brief absence, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made a big return with a repeating Four-Number Combination!

Three-Number Combination(s)

Of course, with a repeating Four-Number Combination, you’re going to have four repeating Three-Number Combinations nestled inside:

  • 41, 44, 56
  • 41, 44, MB 10
  • 41. 56, MB 10
  • 44, 56, MB 10

All these Combinations debuted in the earlier-mentioned August 12, 2016 drawing. These weren’t the only Combinations of the night, not by a long shot!

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern may have returned this past Friday night, but if it has dreams of finishing out the month, the best it can do is a three-peat. May looks to have a blockbuster finish, regardless. Still, inquiring minds want to know: Will the jackpot hit a ceiling next week or will it burst through into June?

Three-peats and Terrors

Monsters of the “number-y” kind were unleashed upon the world May 22, 2019. Powerball’s beast of a jackpot expanded to $308 million, probably inspired by sister Mega Millions. Lotto Texas, ever respectable, sprouted upward to $6.25 million. That ever respectable lottery was responsible for a few terrors of its own.

The {3-2-1} Pattern went for the three-peat with winning numbers 2, 9, 23, 37, 42, and 50. This Pattern has now played 872 times.

Of the 1657 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 52.6% of the time. Recall that the {3-2-1} Pattern was last seen May 18, 2019.

Now with 121 drawings, the 2 1 3 Specific Order has played in 13.9% of the 872 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1657 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 7.30% of the time. Prior to Wednesday night, the 2 1 3 Specific Order played January 16, 2019.

Similar Spread

A similar spread is what happens when the difference between the numbers in two drawings are the same, but orders of said numbers are different. The spread for Wednesday night’s numbers was 07:14:14:05:08. This was similar to the spread seen on February 23, 2008. That night, the winning numbers were 2, 7, 21, 35, 43, and 50; the spread was 05:14:14:08:07.

Four-Number Combination(s)

With a three-peat and a similar spread, you’d think Lotto Texas would have its fill. There was enough room for three repeating Four-Number Combinations!

The 2 1 0 1 1 1 Specific Order was last seen November 17, 2018.

Three-Number Combination(s)

There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations. The madness in Lotto Texas was enough for both lotteries.

Will a {3-2-1} Pattern streak solidify and could the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern see an encore Saturday night? Both Patterns love making repeat appearances!

In the Shadow of $367 Million

Longer days and rising temperatures mean beach parties, a dip in the pool, frozen treats (lime snow cones, anyone?), and a nice cold one, or at least daydreaming about them! Summer continued to make its march while Mega Millions took a breather. Many of this month’s drawings have been the dreams of repeating Three-Number Combination lovers. They may find the results of May 17th, 2019 a bit of a downer. The $367 million prize awaiting Tuesday’s players turned the heat up, true, but it’s the Pattern within that brought the cooldown.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern reigned supreme with winning numbers 5, 17, 28, 32, 63, and MB 11. This Pattern has now played 202 times.

Prior to Friday night, the 1 2 1 0 1 1 Specific Order played April 12th, 2019.

Three-Number Combination(s)

For all you fans of repeating Three-Number Combinations, I’m sorry to say that there weren’t any. Perhaps next time?

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is fond of encores, so that’s something we’ll have to keep an eye on for Tuesday’s drawing. Encore or no, it remains to be seen if that gargantuan prize will grow once more or be claimed by at least one spunky player.

Two Cheers for Common Patterns!

The word “common” isn’t normally a word to describe a lottery. There’s nothing common about flirting with a billion dollars or a record-breaking Pattern streak, that’s for sure! Lottery analysts live for those sorts of things, you know. What is common, however, is a Pattern, or in this case, two Patterns.

We’ve reached the halfway point of the month, and to celebrate (if you can call it that), Lotto Texas and Powerball played their most common Patterns May 15th. Another, ahem, commonality, was keeping people away from the grand prizes. After Wednesday night, the jackpots rose to $5.75 million and $270 million, respectively.

Things look to heat up for at least one of these lotteries Saturday night. Both Patterns are notorious for streaks. After all, that’s part of why they are the most commonly seen! Pattern encores or no, someone is either going to walk away with the prize money or the prizes are going to continue to climb.

Hey, Hey, Hey! A Double Play for May

Lotto Texas and Powerball had the joint honor of kicking off the month. Great minds thought alike May 1st as both, yes both, lotteries saw Pattern encores! They also shared a love of thwarting all efforts to win the jackpot. With no grand prize winners in either Lotto Texas or Powerball, their respective pots are now $6.25 million and $199 million.

Not necessarily. With its eighth appearance, the 1 2 0 1 1 1 Specific Order has played in 20.5% of the 39 drawings where the General Order was [1-2-1-1-1].

The Patterns That Rule Them All

Lotto Texas and Powerball bid adieu to the month this past Saturday. One word that describes the night of April 27, 2019 is “Explosive”! The weekend was ablaze with both lotteries playing their most commonly-seen Patterns, one of which made an encore. Additionally, the lotteries continued to enjoy the perks of repeating Three and Four-Number Combinations.

With no one to claim the grand prizes, Lotto Texas and Powerball will be heading into May with $6 million and $181 million dollars up for grabs, respectively.

With April in the rear-view mirror, May looks to be a month in “crazy- large jackpot” territory. Considering the Patterns that we saw this past Saturday, it’s possible that one or both will start the month with an encore. Of course, anything is possible in the lottery world, and we’ll need to watch Wednesday closely.

Mega Millions’ Friday Commons

After a hop-along with an Australia Play, Mega Millions went into the weekend escaping the grasp of the players once more. The April 26, 2019 drawing did not see an Australia Play encore, but if you’re a lover of repeating Three-Number Combinations, then the night was buzzing with them!

Mega Millions will be ending the month with a $229 million jackpot up for grabs, and it’s all thanks to a common Pattern. The most common, in fact.
