After the Festivities

Hello, everyone! Once again, this is guest blogger, Romulun Harris, giving the latest lottery reports.  St. Patrick’s Day has come and gone, but the excitement of LotteryTrend continues to heat up as Texas Lotto’s reigning {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared three times in a row.

And now, the details.

 

Texas Lotto

Last night on March 18, 2017, the winning numbers for Texas Lotto were 12, 15, 16, 23, 38, and 43.

The mighty {3-2-1} Pattern made its 743rd appearance and, as of now, has occurred in 51.96% of all 1430 drawings. The {3-2-1} Pattern last appeared on March 15, 2017—just three days ago!

Well, as we now start to head towards Easter, who knows what surprises lie in store. Until next time, this is guest blogger, Romulun Harris, signing off.

Luck O’ The Megamillions!

Top o’ the day to you all again! This is guest blogger, Romulun Harris, giving you the latest lottery reports! As of now, Megamillions’ {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern still reigns! And now, the details.

 

 

Last night on March 17, 2017, the winning numbers on Megamillions were 11, 27, 31, 58, 60, and MB 10.

 

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern occurred for the 144th time and, so far, has appeared in approximately 40.45% of all 356 drawings. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern played last on March 10, 2017, exactly a week prior.

 

The [1-1-1-2-1] General Order made its 33rd appearance. So far, it has occurred in 22.92% of all 144 drawings associated with the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern and 9.27% of all 356 drawings. The [1-1-1-2-1] General Order last played on March 3, 2017, exactly two weeks prior.

 

The 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order made its 8th appearance. It has now occurred in 24.24% of 33 drawings associated with the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order, 5.56% of 144 drawings associated with the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, and 2.25% of all 356 drawings. Like the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order, the 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order last played on March 3, 2017.

 

There was one Three-Number Combination that repeated, and it comprised the numbers 11, 27, and 58. The combination last played on March 17, 2015, two years ago exactly!

 

Well, St. Patrick’s Day was quite interesting for Megamillions. What further surprises await us? Until next time, this is guest blogger, Romulun Harris, signing off.

Friday’s Four-Leaf Clovers

St. Patrick’s Day is only a week away, and we saw a couple of four-leaf clovers sprout on March 10th. One of these was a repeat appearance of a Three-Number Combination. What was the other? Keep reading and find out!

Rather than a rare Pattern, Friday’s drawing marked the 143rd appearance of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, which is the most played. The winning numbers were 26, 38, 42, 58, 70, and MB 5.

Winning Mega Millions numbers

This Pattern has now played in 40.4% of the 354 Mega Millions drawings to date, and was last seen exactly one week prior in the March 3, 2017 drawing.

With its 42nd appearance, the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order has now played in 29.4% of the 143 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} has appeared, as well as in 11.8% of all drawings. Prior to Friday, this General Order was last seen in the February 28, 2017 drawing.

The 0 1 2 1 1 1 Specific Order made its sixth appearance and has now played in approximately 14.3% of the 42 drawings where the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 4.20% of the 143 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.69% of the 354 Mega Millions drawings. Remember how we mentioned earlier that there were two four-leaf clovers that sprouted? The other four-leaf clover was the date in which this Specific Order previously played. Like the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order, we last saw the 0 1 2 1 1 1 Specific Order in the February 28th drawing.

Our Mega Millions coverage concludes with the repeat appearance of the Three-Number Combination 38, 70, and MB 5.

This Combination made its debut in the March 22, 2016 drawing nearly one year ago.

Looking ahead to next week, will there be more repeating Three-Number Combinations? Will a Specific Order make its debut?

Simmerin’ Down with a Similar Spread

Wednesday’s drawing didn’t grant us repeating Four-Number Combinations in Lotto Texas or repeating Three-Number Combinations in Powerball. For those of you who had hoped for a Pattern encore or an Australia Play, we’re sorry to say that didn’t happen either. Now, what did happen on the night of March 8, 2017 was a visit from the rare specimen known as the similar spread.

Lotto Texas

Wednesday’s winning numbers were 15, 19, 24, 33, 34, and 47, marking the 156th appearance of the {4-1-1} Pattern.

Winning Texas Lottery numbers

This Pattern has now played in 10.9% of the 1427 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen on October 15, 2016.

The 1 4 1 Specific Order made its 55th appearance, and has now played in 35.3% of the 156 drawings where the {4-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 3.85% of all drawings. Prior to Wednesday, this Specific Order previously played on June 18, 2016.

And now, it has come time to discuss the similar spread. The spread for Wednesday’s drawing was 04:05:09:01:13. It was a little over one year ago, in the March 5, 2016 drawing, that there was a similar spread of 04:01:13:09:05. The winning numbers on that night were 5, 9, 10, 23, 32, and 37. As you can see, the differences between the numbers in these separate drawings were the same, but the order was different.

 Powerball

Although Powerball didn’t have a similar spread, it was graced with the presence of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Its 52nd appearance was marked by winning numbers 23, 33, 42, 46, 59, and PB 4.

Winning Powerball numbers

This Pattern has appeared in 34.9% of the 149 Powerball drawings, and remained the most commonly seen Pattern. We last saw the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern at the beginning of the month.

Making its 13th appearance, the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order has now played in 25% of the 52 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 8.72% of all Powerball drawings. Prior to Wednesday, this General Order was last seen in the January 18, 2017 drawing.

Our Powerball coverage concludes with the third appearance of the 0 1 2 1 1 1 Specific Order. This Specific Order has played in approximately 3.08% of the 13 drawings where the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order has appeared, as well as 5.77% of the 52 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 2.01% of all 149 drawings. The 0 1 2 1 1 1 Specific Order previously played on December 21, 2016.

Daylight Savings is coming for us here in Lottery Trend country. As we look to spring forward soon, will Lotto Texas and Powerball have Pattern encores? Will the ever-elusive exact spread make an appearance?

Go “Fourth” and Prosper

At the end of our last Mega Millions post, we wondered whether the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern would go in for the four-peat. The March 3, 2017 drawing did not disappoint! Only once before have we here at Lottery Binge seen Mega Millions’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern appear four times in a row.

Friday’s winning numbers were 14, 26, 39, 48, 51, and MB 9, bringing the total number of appearances of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern to 142.

This Pattern has now played in 40.3% of the 352 Mega Millions drawings to date. We last saw the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern in the Mardi Gras drawing.

Now with 32 appearances, the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has played in 22.5% of the 142 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 9.09% of all drawings. This General Order previously played in the January 24, 2017 drawing.

Making its seventh appearance, the 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order has now played in 21.9% of the 32 drawings where the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 4.93% of the 142 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in approximately 2% of all drawings. It’s been a while since the 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order played. Prior to Friday’s drawing, it was last seen in the September 15, 2015 drawing.

Mega Millions kept the momentum going with repeating Three-Number Combination 14, 48, and MB 9, and it made its debut in the July 8, 2014 drawing.

In this snippet of Four-Number Combinations, the repeating Combination is in the red box.

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern make a fifth consecutive appearance in Tuesday’s drawing?

March Comes Roaring In

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, or so it’s said. The March 1st drawings for Lotto Texas and Powerball lived up to that saying. They came roaring in with repeating Four-Number and Three-Number Combinations, respectively, and both lotteries saw their most commonly played Patterns. Powerball’s most commonly seen Pattern got an extra boost with a three-peat appearance.

Lotto Texas

Wednesday’s winning numbers were 3, 24, 33, 34, 45, and 51. With 740 appearances, the {3-2-1} Pattern remained second-to-none.

Given that there have been 1425 Lotto Texas drawings to date, this Pattern has now played in approximately 51.9% of all drawings. Prior to Wednesday, we last saw the {3-2-1} Pattern in the February 18, 2017 drawing a few weeks back.

The 1 3 2 Specific Order made its 109th appearance, and has now played in 14.7% of the 740 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 7.65% of all drawings. Interestingly, the 1 3 2 Specific Order previously played exactly one month prior in the February 1, 2017 drawing.

Lotto Texas solidified its strong start to March with repeat appearances of the following Four-Number Combinations:

  • 24, 34, 45, 51 (Debuted October 15, 2011)
  • 33, 34, 45, 51 (Debuted April 10, 2013)
  • 24, 33, 34, 51 (Debuted September 17, 2016)
The Combinations in red boxes repeated.

Powerball

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern continues to reign supreme after its three-peat appearance. This time around, the winning numbers were 10, 16, 40, 52, 55, and PB 17.

Winning Powerball numbers. These followed the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern.

Now with 51 appearances, this Pattern has played in 34.7% of the 147 Powerball drawings to date. Prior to Wednesday, we saw the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern in this past Saturday’s drawing, in addition to the February 22nd drawing one week ago.

The [1-1-1-2-1] General Order made its 19th appearance, and has now played in 37.3% of the 51 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 12.9% of all drawings. This General Order, like the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, was last seen in the February 25, 2017 drawing.

Making its second-ever appearance, the 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order has now played in 10.5% of the 19 drawings where the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 3.92% of the 51 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.36% of all drawings. The 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order made its debut in the October 22, 2016 drawing.

The repeating Three-Number Combination of the evening was 40, 52, and PB 17.

The Combination 40-52-PB 17 is highlighted in the red box.

We first saw this Combination in the June 22, 2016 drawing.

Will Lotto Texas see three more Four-Number Combinations repeat on Saturday? Will Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} go in for a fourth consecutive appearance?

We Got Ourselves a Three-Peat!

February ended with a one-two-three punch! Mardi Gras was in full swing, and Mega Millions saw the {2-1-1-1-1} three-peat. We also saw not one, not two, but three repeating Three-Number Combinations!

The {2-1-1-1-1} three-peat was thanks to winning numbers 20, 33, 45, 58, 69, and MB 4.

Winning Powerball numbers.

As of the February 28th, 2017 drawing, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared in 141 out of 351 drawings. This Pattern has now played 40.2% of the time and remains the most commonly seen Pattern in Mega Millions. Recall that we last saw this Pattern in this past Friday’s drawing.

The [1-2-1-1-1] General Order made its 41st appearance, and has now played in 29.1% of the 141 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 11.7% of all 351 drawings. Unlike the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order didn’t make an encore. We need to go back to the February 21st drawing to see when this General Order previously appeared. February 21st was also the first appearance of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern in this three-peat.

The 0 1 2 1 1 1 Specific Order made its fifth appearance, its first since the October 7th, 2016 drawing. As of Tuesday, this Specific Order has played in 12.1% of the 41 drawings where the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order appeared, 3.55% of the 141 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} drawing appeared, and in 1.42% of all drawings.

Our Mega Millions coverage concludes with the repeat appearances of the following Three-Number Combinations:

  • 33, 45, MB 4 (Debuted January 21st, 2014)
  • 33, 58, 69 (Debuted July 4th, 2014)
  • 20, 45, MB 4 (Debuted November 10th, 2015)
The repeating Three-Number Combinations are boxed.

Since February ended with a bang, that means March will come roaring in like a lion, right? What better way for that to occur than for a {2-1-1-1-1} four-peat?

Served Up Rare

Unlike what we saw in our last Lotto Texas/Powerball post, the February 25th drawing didn’t provide us with Australia Plays or repeating Four-Number (Lotto Texas) or Three-Number (Powerball) Combinations. However, Saturday night was far from “ordinary”. A rarely-seen Pattern made an appearance in Lotto Texas and the Specific Order in Powerball made its second-ever appearance. One noteworthy development was that the Patterns in both lotteries have now played the same number of times.

Lotto Texas

Saturday’s drawing marked the 50th appearance of the {5-1} Pattern, with winning numbers 16, 37, 42, 46, 49, and 54.

Winning Texas Lottery numbers.

While 50 seems like a high number of occurrences, keep in mind that there have now been 1424 drawings in Lotto Texas. Not only that, the {5-1} Pattern has now played in 3.51% of all drawings, and was last seen in the December 17, 2016 drawing.

Adding a bit more spice to the mix, the 1 0 5 Specific Order was also last seen in the December 17th drawing. This Specific Order has now made 10 appearances, and has played in 20% of the 50 drawings where the {5-1} Pattern has appeared, and 0.70% of all Lotto Texas drawings.

Powerball

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made an encore appearance with winning numbers 6, 32, 47, 62, 65, and PB 19.

Winning Powerball numbers.

Now with 50 appearances, this Pattern has played in approximately 34.2% of the 146 Powerball drawings to date. This Pattern, if you recall, previously played in Wednesday’s drawing.

The [1-1-1-2-1] General Order made its 18th appearance, its first since the October 22, 2016 drawing. This General Order has now played in 36% of the 50 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 12.3% of all drawings.

Our coverage concludes with the second appearance of the 1 0 1 1 2 1 Specific Order. This Specific Order has now played in 11.1% of the 18 drawings where the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has appeared, 4% of the 50 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.37% of all drawings. The 1 0 1 1 2 1 Specific Order made its debut in the September 3, 2016 drawing.

February ended with a bang for Lotto Texas and Powerball. Will March come in like a lion, or will things mellow out?

Play That Song Again, Mega Millions

Mardi Gras will be upon us soon. King cake  is flying off the bakery shelves and the orders for crawfish, or crayfish for our non-US readers, keep coming. On the lottery side, things have slowed down a bit, but Mega Millions still had a strong showing on Friday night. The most commonly seen Pattern made an encore, and we also saw a Specific Order that hadn’t been seen in almost a year.

The winning numbers for the February 24th, 2017 drawing were 12, 29, 33, 42, 68 and MB 14.

Winning Mega Millions numbers.

With 140 appearances, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern retained its position as the most commonly seen Pattern and has now played in 40% of the 350 drawings to date. Recall that this Pattern was last seen in Tuesday’s drawing.

The [1-1-2-1-1] General Order made its 33rd appearance and has now played in approximately 23.6% of the 140 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in approximately 9.43% of all drawings. Unlike the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order did not make an encore. To see when this General Order previously played, we need to go back to the January 27th drawing, which was nearly a month ago.

Next, the 1 1 2 0 1 1 Specific Order made its third appearance, its first in nearly a year. This Specific Order previously played in the March 22nd, 2016 drawing. With that said, the 1 1 2 0 1 1 Specific Order has now played in 9.09% of the 33 drawings where the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order has appeared, 2.14% of the 140 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} drawing has appeared, and in approximately 0.86% of all drawings.

Our Mega Millions coverage concludes with the repeat appearance of the Three-Number Combination 29, 33, and 68.

In this snippet, the repeating Combination is in the red box.

This Combination made its debut in the July 25th, 2014 drawing.

Will Mega Millions end the month with a {2-1-1-1-1} three-peat?

Combos with a Side of Australia Play

The lead-up to Mardi Gras showed no signs of slowing down Wednesday night. After seeing the same Pattern in both Lotto Texas and Powerball, the February 22nd drawing decided to take things up a notch. Both lotteries saw repeating Four-Number and Three-Number Combinations respectively, and there was an Australia Play.

Lotto Texas

The Australia Play was spotted in Lotto Texas. The {2-2-2} Pattern and the 2 2 2 Specific Order made their 193rd appearance, with winning numbers 4, 8, 21, 27, 52, and 53.

Winning Texas Lottery numbers.

These two have played in 13.6% of the 1423 drawings to date. Lotto Texas last saw an Australia Play in the January 25, 2017 drawing almost a month ago.

The Lotto Texas Mardi Gras momentum got an extra boost with the repeat appearance of two Four-Number Combinations:

  • 4, 8, 21, and 53 (Debuted February 10, 2016)
  • 4, 8, 21, and 27 (Debuted February 19, 2011)
The repeating Four-Number Combinations are highlighted in red boxes.

Powerball

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern retained its position as the most commonly seen Pattern. Its 49th appearance was thanks to winning numbers 10, 13, 28, 52, 61, and PB 2.

Winning Powerball numbers.

As of Wednesday’s drawing, this Pattern has appeared in 33.8% of the 145 drawings, and had previously played in the recent February 11th drawing.

The General Order of the evening was [2-1-1-1-1], making its eleventh appearance. This General Order has now played in 22.4% of the 49 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared and in 7.59% of all drawings. Like the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order was also last seen on February 11th.

The 2 1 0 1 1 1 Specific Order made its second appearance and has now played in 18.2% of the 11 drawings where the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 4.08% of the 49 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared and in 1.38% of all Powerball drawings. The 2 1 0 1 1 1 Specific Order made its debut in the August 31, 2016 drawing.

Our Powerball coverage concludes with the repeating Three-Number Combination 10, 28, and 61, which made its debut in the July 9, 2016 drawing.

Repeating Three-Number Combination can be seen in the red box.

Will the momentum for Lotto Texas and Powerballl continue as we look forward to Saturday?
