2-2-1-1 pattern – Page 40

The Charming 13th

With two weeks to go before Halloween, Mega Millions decided to get in the mood. It wasn’t enough that the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made an encore appearance on Friday the 13^th. This Pattern made its third consecutive appearance in the October 17^th drawing.

And the number 13 still didn’t appear.

General Lottery Analysis

Tuesday’s winning numbers were 31, 45, 49, 56, 70, and MB 11. This brings the number of appearances of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern to 124.

With 417 Mega Millions drawings so far, this Pattern has played 29.7% of the time.

Making its 46^th appearance was the [2-2-1-1] General Order, which has now played in 37.1% of the 124 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played. This General Order has also played in roughly 11% of all 417 drawings. The [2-2-1-1] accompanied the {2-2-1-1} Pattern in the Friday the 13^th drawing. Could Tuesday’s drawing be a playback?

The appearance of the 0 0 2 2 1 1 Specific Order puts the idea of a playback to rest. So, when did it play last? Don’t worry, we’ll get to that in a minute. With its third-ever appearance, this Specific Order has played in 6.52% of the 46 drawings where the [2-2-1-1] General Order has appeared. This has also played in 2.42% of the 124 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 0.72% of all 417 drawings. Until Tuesday night, 0 0 2 2 1 1 Specific Order hadn’t been seen in almost three years. This Specific Order had previously played in the January 20^th, 2015 drawing.

Three-Number Combination(s)

This time around, there was a repeating Three-Number Combination. The Combination of the evening was 31, 49, MB 11.

This Combination made its debut over the summer. More specifically, in the July 28^th, 2017 drawing.

Will the {2-2-1-1} Pattern continue its streak Friday night, or will another Pattern take over the reins?

A Mob of Combinations

Did you know that when the 14^th falls on a Saturday, the chances of wild and crazy things happening goes up?

Okay, not really. But, there was plenty of wild and crazy action in Lotto Texas and Powerball. Whether you’re hoppin’ mad for Australia Plays or Specific Order debuts, October 14, 2017 had them. If you don’t fancy those sorts of things, there was a repeating Five-Number Combination. There was also a repeating Three-Number Combination, or two.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 15, 17, 23, 24, 44, and 53, there have been 200 appearances of both the {2-2-2} Pattern and the 2 2 2 Specific Order.

Six numbers. So many things. Source: lotterytrend.com.

Given that there have been 1490 drawings in Lotto Texas, the Australia Play has appeared in 13.4% of them. We last saw one in the September 27, 2017 drawing.

Five-Number Combination(s)

For the first time since July 23, 2016, a repeating Five-Number Combination showed its face in Lotto Texas.

Good on ya, Australia Play!

The Five-Number Combination was 15, 23, 24, 44, and 53, and it made its debut in the May 21, 2014 drawing.

Four-Number Combination(s)

When there’s a repeating Five-Number Combination, there’s going to be five repeating Four-Number Combinations bundled inside. The Combinations were

23, 24, 44, 53
15, 24, 44, 53
15, 23, 44, 53
15, 23, 24, 53
15, 23, 24, 44

One of these is not like the others. Source: lotterytrend.com.

The bottom four made their debut alongside the Five-Number Combination in the May 21^st drawing we mentioned earlier. The top Combination appeared in that same drawing, naturally, but it’s a special one. Four-Number Combination 23, 24, 44, 53 made its debut about a year-and-a-half prior to the other four Combinations. It debuted in the November 24, 2012 drawing, just two days after (US)Thanksgiving.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

Although there wasn’t an Australia Play here, Powerball saw a respectable amount of number action. The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 62^nd appearance with winning numbers 32, 37, 56, 66, 69, and PB 11.

These numbers were a bit quieter. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

Will Wednesday night be hopping with repeating Combinations, or will things mellow out?

An Encore on the Thirteenth

Friday the 13^th is a day that makes triskaidekaphobes take extra precautions. When it happens in October, it takes on another layer. Being just a few weeks before Halloween is probably the reason why! For us here at Lottery Binge, the 13^th is just another day, no matter what day of the week it falls on. Normally. This is the first Mega Millions drawing that we’ve analyzed that just so happens to fall on Friday the 13^th. And there’s going to be another one six months from now.

Spoiler alert: The number 13 did not appear.

General Lottery Analysis

Instead, we saw an encore of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. The 123^rd appearance of this Pattern was made possible by winning numbers 2, 7, 18, 26, 31, and MB 12.

Nothing unlucky here. Source: lotterytrend-megamillions.com.

This Pattern has played in 29.6% of the 416 Mega Millions drawings.

Now having appeared in 45 drawings, the [2-2-1-1] General Order has played in 36.6% of the 123 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 10.8% of all 416 drawings. We last saw the [2-2-1-1] General Order in the September 15, 2017 drawing.

With its third appearance, the 2 2 1 0 0 1 Specific Order has played in 6.67% of the 45 drawings where the [2-2-1-1] General Order has appeared. Additionally, this Specific Order has played in 2.44% of the 123 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. When looking at all 416 drawings, this Specific Order has played 0.72% of the time. To see when the 2 2 1 0 0 1 Specific Order previously played, we need to go back to the April 28, 2017 drawing.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Amidst all the fuss of Friday the 13^th, there were no repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Will the {2-2-1-1} Pattern go for a three-peat in Tuesday’s drawing?

No Room for {3-1-1-1}

All streaks must come to an end. The {3-1-1-1} Pattern did not appear for the fourth time in a row. Right after an unprecedented three-peat, it was unceremoniously dethroned in the October 10^th drawing. A more, ahem, common Pattern did the deed.

General Lottery Analysis

With 122 drawings, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern is the second-most commonly seen Pattern in Mega Millions. Tuesday’s winning numbers were 7, 16, 24, 61, 62, and MB 2.

This Specific Order has also played in 5.74% of the 122 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.69% of all 415 drawings.

Will the number 13 appear in Friday’s drawing?

A Mellow Start to Autumn

In our last Mega Millions post, we wondered if the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern would make an encore. What better way to start autumn than with the Pattern that reigned over Mega Millions this summer, right? Well, that wasn’t to be. The September 26^th drawing did see something interesting with its Specific Order.

Tuesday’s drawing saw the 121^st appearance of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. The winning numbers this time were 1, 10, 57, 66, 75, and MB 4.

This Pattern has played in 29.4% of the 411 Mega Millions drawings, and was last seen on September 15^th, 2017.

With 42 appearances, the [2-1-2-1] General Order has played in 34.7% of the 121 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 10.2% of all 411 drawings. This General Order was last seen in the July 28^th, 2017 drawing.

Making its fifth appearance, the 2 0 0 1 2 1 Specific Order has played in 11.9% of the 42 drawings where the [2-1-2-1] General Order has appeared, and in 4.13% of the 121 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has now played in 1.22% of all 411 drawings. Believe it or not, the 2 0 0 1 2 1 Specific Order hadn’t been seen in over a year! Prior to Tuesday night, this Specific Order was seen in the August 23^rd, 2016 drawing.

There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations this time.

Will Mega Millions end the month with a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore?

A Big Playback and a World Debut

Summer has come and gone for Lotto Texas and Powerball. Although there were no encores, nor repeating Four-Number or Three-Number Combinations, there were a couple of interesting plays September 20^th.

Lotto Texas

With winning numbers 7, 12, 13, 15, 19, and 37, the {4-1-1} Pattern made its 162^nd appearance in Lotto Texas.

To date, there have been 1483 drawings, and this Pattern has played in 10.9% of them.

Now with 52 appearances, the 4 1 1 Specific Order has played in 32.1% of the 162 drawings where the {4-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 3.51% of all 1483 drawings.

What made Wednesday night’s Lotto Texas drawing interesting was that both the {4-1-1} Pattern and the 4 1 1 Specific Order were seen together earlier this month! More specifically, on September 2, 2017.

Powerball

Wednesday night’s winning numbers for Powerball were 39, 48, 53, 67, 68, and PB 26, marking the 61^st appearance of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern.

This Pattern has now played in 29.8% of the 205 Powerball drawings, and was last seen on September 13, 2017.

Making its 18^th appearance was the [1-2-2-1] General Order, now having played in 29.5% of the 61 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 8.78% of all 205 drawings. We last saw this General Order March 25, 2017.

Our Powerball coverage concludes with the world debut of the 0 0 1 2 2 1 Specific Order. As of Wednesday night, this Specific Order has played in 5.56% of the 18 drawings where the [1-2-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 1.64% of the 61 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 0.49% of all 205 drawings.

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball welcome fall with big plays of their own Saturday night, or will they welcome the season with little fanfare?

All Quiet on the Mega Millions Front

The September 15^th Mega Millions drawing ended the week the way it started. No, there wasn’t an encore of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. There weren’t any repeating Three-Number Combinations, either. Yet, even though Friday was quiet, the biggest surprise of the evening was the Specific Order. More specifically, the last time it appeared.

With winning numbers 18, 24, 34, 38, 58, and MB 3, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has now played 120 times.

This Pattern has played in 29.4% of the 408 Mega Millions drawings, and was last seen in the August 15, 2017 drawing.

Now with 44 appearances, the [2-2-1-1] General Order has played in 36.7% of the 120 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 10.8% of all 408 drawings. We last saw this General Order in the August 1, 2017 drawing.

Our Mega Millions coverage concludes with the sixth appearance of the 0 2 2 1 0 1 Specific Order. This Specific Order has now played in 13.6% of the 44 drawings where the [2-2-1-1] General Order has appeared, and in 5% of the 120 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 1.47% of all 408 drawings. What makes the 0 2 2 1 0 1 Specific Order interesting is that until Friday night, it hadn’t played in almost two years. This Specific Order previously played in the November 13, 2015 drawing.

With next week being the final week of summer, will Mega Millions give the season a big send-off?

September Spice

September is nearly halfway over, and it’s almost time to say goodbye to summer. Although autumn doesn’t start until September 22^nd (or 23^rd), Lotto Texas and Powerball were getting ready for a big send off. That is, if the results from September 13^th were anything to go by. Whether it was a Pattern that doesn’t show up often in Lotto Texas, or three repeating Three-Number Combinations in Powerball, Wednesday night was far from boring!

Of course, if you’re reading from the Southern Hemisphere, replace “winter” with “spring”.

Lotto Texas

With winning numbers 24, 35, 40, 42, 45, and 48, the {4-2} Pattern made its 167^th appearance.

This Pattern has now played in 11.3% of the 1481 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen on August 16, 2017.

Now with 29 appearances, the 0 2 4 Specific Order has played in 17.4% of the 167 drawings where the {4-2} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.96% of all 1481 drawings. Prior to Wednesday night, this Specific Order played in the December 14, 2016 drawing.

Here’s a real treat: 35, 40, 42, and 48, the sole repeating Four-Number Combination, made its debut nearly nine-and-a-half years ago! To be more specific, this Combination made its debut in the March 19, 2008 drawing.

Powerball

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 60^th appearance, with winning numbers 17, 24, 35, 57, 63, and PB 19.

This Pattern has played in 29.6% of the 203 Powerball drawings, and previously played in the September 6, 2017 drawing.

Making its 20^th appearance, the [2-1-2-1] General Order has now played in 33.3% of the 60 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 9.85% of all 203 drawings. This General Order was seen alongside the {2-2-1-1} Pattern exactly a week prior.

With its third appearance, the 0 2 1 0 2 1 Specific Order has played in 15% of the 20 drawings where the [2-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 5% of the 60 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.48% of all 203 drawings. We last saw the 0 2 1 0 2 1 Specific Order in the May 13, 2017 drawing.

The repeating Three-Number Combinations of the evening were

24, 35, PB 19 (Debuted August 12, 2017)
24, 63, PB 19 (Debuted March 30, 2016)
17, 64, PB 19 (Debuted May 13, 2017)

With only two more drawings for Lotto Texas and Powerball left this summer, was Wednesday night truly a sign of things to come?

More “Common” Things and a World Debut

In our last post covering Lotto Texas and Powerball, we talked about how September got off to a big start. The night of September 6, 2017 told a different story. There were no Pattern encores, and as for repeating Three and Four-Number Combinations? Nada. The biggest event of the evening was the debut of a new Specific Order.

Lotto Texas

Wednesday’s winning numbers were 8, 10, 16, 32, 40, and 48, bringing the number of appearances of the {3-2-1} Pattern to 770.

This Pattern has now played in 52.1% of the 1479 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen on August 26, 2017.

Making its 141^st appearance, the 3 1 2 Specific Order played in 18.3% of the 770 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, as well as in 9.53% of all 1479 drawings. Prior to Wednesday night, this Specific Order was seen August 2, 2017.

Powerball

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 59^th appearance, with winning numbers 8, 14, 32, 58, 67, and PB 17.

This Pattern has now played in 29.4% of the 201 Powerball drawings, and was last seen on August 30, 2017.

Now with nineteen (19) appearances, the [2-1-2-1] General Order has played in 32.2% of the 59 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 9.45% of the 201 drawings, and was seen alongside the {2-2-1-1} Pattern in the August 30^th drawing.

Making its world debut was the 2 0 1 0 2 1 Specific Order, now having played in 5.26% of the 19 drawings where the [2-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 1.69% of the 59 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in roughly 0.5% of all 201 drawings.

Will there be another world debut among Specific Orders? Will either the {2-2-1-1} or {3-2-1} Pattern make an encore?

Of Nature and Numbers

The storm once known as Harvey is dead and done, now nothing more than a rain system pushing up and out through the eastern United States. Although the Sun is out, and blue skies are a much welcome sight, the aftermath will be felt for some time. The waters will recede, the clean-up will take place, and everyone impacted by the storm will eventually return to their “normal” lives. Add in the videos and photos that have made their rounds on the Internet, not to mention the records that have been broken, Harvey will be one for the history books. Regardless of your beliefs, or lack thereof, Nature is truly awe-some.

Meanwhile, in Lottery World, neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball broke any records August 30, 2017. However, there was nothing “ho-hum” about how each lottery ended the month.

Lotto Texas

With winning numbers 11, 16, 17, 44, 52, and 54, the not-so-common {3-3} Pattern made its 126^th appearance.

This Pattern has now played in 8.53% of the 1477 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen May 24, 2017.

Now with 47 appearances, the 3 0 3 Specific Order has played in 37.3% of the 126 drawings where the {3-3} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 3.18% of all 1477 drawings. The 3 0 3 Specific Order played alongside the {3-3} Pattern in the May 24^th drawing.

The repeating Four-Number Combination of the evening was 16, 17, 44, and 54.

Unlike most repeating Four-Number Combinations we’ve covered, this one has appeared twice before:

Powerball

Wednesday’s winning numbers for Powerball were 19, 28, 43, 67, 69, and PB 7, bringing the number of appearances of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern to 58.

This Pattern has now played in 29.1% of the 199 drawings to date, and previously played in the July 12, 2017 drawing.

Now with 18 appearances, the [2-1-2-1] General Order has played in 31% of the 58 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 9.04% of all 199 drawings. Prior to Wednesday, this General Order was last seen in the May 17, 2017 drawing.

Making its second appearance, the 0 2 0 1 2 1 Specific Order has played in 11.1% of the 18 drawings where the [2-1-2-1] General Order has appeared.

The 0 2 0 1 2 1 Specific Order made its debut in the May 3, 2017 drawing.

The lone repeating Three-Number Combination of the evening was 28, 67, and 69.

This Combination made its debut in the September 21, 2016 drawing.

Will either the {3-3} or {2-2-1-1} Pattern make an encore appearance? Will there be repeating Four-Number or Three-Number Combinations that have appeared multiple times before?
