What in the World?!

After another very long day on the job, I was unable to provide y’all with the latest lottery news. In the meantime, here’s a special post by the Lottery Trend architect herself, Mary Harris. I want to thank her for writing this up last night. Everything will be “on schedule” tomorrow.

Hi! Mary Semiene Harris, here, filling in for Lotterymeister, Freyja Harris.   I really don’t know the first thing about blogging. I’ve read some blogs, but I don’t know about blogs, per se. So, here goes.  

I assume that if you are reading this, it is because you are looking for information on either Lotto Texas or Powerball or both. And you’ve come to the right place.  Lottery Trend offers a consistent and unique perspective on the draws from Lotto Texas, Powerball, and Mega Millions. Unique in that we provide information that helps the reader get a better handle on selecting winning combinations. 

We Started with the TEXAS Lottery

With very little money in hand, about $5.00 or so, I picked winning Four-Number Combinations A LOT. I started playing in November 1992, and later, got a little lottery club together (four or five people at any given time). Between us we played a total of 18 to 24 combinations, spending anywhere from $18.00 to $24.00, and came very close to winning the jackpot itself, around Christmas (1996?). Again, we picked a winning Four-Number Combination, and we were one-digit off with the remaining two numbers. Texas changed its system from 1-50 to 1-54, and I got involved in other things. I did not play the lottery for at least seven years, but in 2006, for reasons I will not go into, I got dragged back in. I started winning Four-Number Combinations again, and swore when I hit the 30 mark, I would quit counting. I hit my 30th Four-Number Combination win in 2008, and I stopped counting. I’ve won Four-Number Combination sets several times since, but needless to say, I’m ready for that jackpot, but I can’t complain too much since $5.00 is my limit and I don’t play all the time. As of this writing, it has been over two years since I played at all. I’d always said that I needed to put a club together (more money available for playing means increased odds of winning, and no additional financial risk), but I, personally, have not had the time. I’m still working behind the scene on Lottery Trend.

But this is my vision for Lottery Trend: That people who come to the website, would see the value of it, and then they could form their own lottery clubs, and would start winning jackpots, implementing strategies based on information provided by Lottery Trend. But back when we first introduced Lottery Trend, a relative gave me his honest opinion, telling me that he did not want anyone to know about the website. “Aah,” I thought. “That could be a problem.”

I noticed that this blog’s followers are few, but the actual visitors to this blog every month are in the thousands and from around the world. Not many are choosing to follow, but they don’t have to, because the information provided is free and easily accessible. No hurdles or anything to jump over.

Future plans are to expand the websites, providing more specifics, such as (1) providing odd/even statistics associated with each pattern, which will be based on six groups, rather than the present three for Lotto Texas, (2) providing and contrasting theoretical and actual pattern percentages, including general and specific order (i.e., what is running ahead/behind, and by how many drawings), and (3) by way of monthly or quarterly reports, providing an overall lottery synopsis covering said period.

We already possess the above-mentioned capability for all three lotteries but providing this information will depend on whether there is enough interest in subscribing (@ $5.00/month) to Lottery Trend . Stay tuned!

Now for the October 2, 2019 analysis. We’re going to start with the {4-1-1} Pattern

Texas Lottery

October kicked off with the {4-1-1} Pattern playing the numbers 9, 26, 39, 42, 47, and 49, Specific Order 1_1_4.

New month, new Pattern. Source: lotterytrend.com.

Did you know that if this was the pattern you played last night, your odds of winning were about 1 out of 3,000,000, rather than 1 out of 26,000,000 (see what strategy does?)? If you played this specific order, your odds improved to about 1 out of 1,000,000. If you spent $10.00 playing this Specific Order last night, even better – 1 out of 100,000. Now imagine that you were part of a club…

Specific Order 1_1_4 comprises 35% of the winning drawings that make up the {4-1-1} Pattern, and 3.83% of all 1695 Lotto Texas drawings (numbers ranging from 1 through 54). The {4-1-1} Pattern characterizes 10.91% of those same 1695 drawings. Both the Pattern and Specific Order had not seen the light of day since August 28 2019.

There were no repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Powerball

Although the {3-2-1} Pattern dominates Lotto Texas (this pattern is based on arranging 1 through 54 into three groups, 18 numbers each), this is not so in Powerball. In Powerball, we divide 69 numbers into four groups, 14 numbers each, and a fifth group with the last thirteen numbers of 1 through 69.  We put all 26 Power balls into the sixth and last group. 

The {3-2-1} Pattern in Powerball makes up 5.47% of all Powerball drawings (compared to 52-53% in Lotto Texas) so far (1 through 69, Power Balls 1 through 26). This Pattern and the [3-2-1] General Order, were last seen on June 5, 2019.

Looking at Wednesday’s drawing, the [3-2-1] General Order slightly leads its counterpart, General Order [2-3-1], by 14 to 12, and that is due to the drawing of 4, 8, 10, 43, 53 and Power Ball 7. 

A quiet start for Powerball. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

The [3-2-1] General Order makes up 53.8% of all drawings designated as part of the {3-2-1} Pattern in Powerball, and 2.78% of all 417 Powerball drawings. That said, we hadn’t seen Specific Order 3_0_0_2_0_1 since its debut March 16, 2016. With only two appearance so far, it makes up 14.28% of the [3-2-1] General Order, 7.69% of the {3-2-1} Pattern, and  0.48% of all 417 Powerball drawings.

There we no repeat Three-Number Combinations.

 Freyja had other appointments today, and I volunteered to fill in. It was a pleasure blogging (is it “blogging to you” or “blogging for you”?). Oh, well. Have a nice evening!

The End of the Summer High

And so, it ended.

After a five-month streak, Lotto Texas  came down from its high September 25, 2019. How fitting that this happened in the first drawing of the season! As is protocol, the prize receded to $5 million.

On the other side of the spectrum, Powerball didn’t see anyone claim the grand prize. A visit from a very uncommon Pattern sent the jackpot climbing quietly for $50 million.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

Keeping with the established “Theme of Five”, it was a {3-2-1} five-peat that brought the Lotto Texas jackpot down to size. This Pattern made its 892nd appearance with 5, 9, 26, 38, 41, and 44.

The {3-2-1} Pattern has now played in 52.7% of the 1693 drawings and was last seen September 21, 2019.

Now with 125 appearances, the 2 1 3 Specific Order has played in 14% of the 892 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 7.38% of all 1693 drawings. Prior to Wednesday night, the 2 1 3 Specific Order played August 31, 2019.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Knocking Lotto Texas back down to Earth was plenty enough. There were no repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Powerball

The {4-1-1} Pattern made its 11th appearance with 37, 43, 44, 45, 53, and PB 25.

Given that there have been 415 Powerball drawings, this Pattern has played 2.65% of the time and was last seen June 22, 2019.

The [1-4-1] General Order, now with six appearances, has played in 54.5% of the 11 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 415 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 1.45% of the time. We last saw the [1-4-1] General Order February 20, 2019.

Now with two appearances, the 0 0 1 4 0 1 Specific Order has played in 33.3% of the six drawings where [1-4-1] was the winning Pattern. This Specific Order has also played in 18.2% of the 11 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.48% of all 415 drawings. The  0 0 1 4 0 1 Specific Order made its first appearance in the August 17, 2016 drawing.

Three-Number Combination(s)

One repeating Three-Number Combination came with its own brand of mischief, mainly by having played twice before! That Combination was:

A triple repeater. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

So, it looks like there won’t be any crazy-large jackpots to end September. There’s still one drawing left, and Lotto Texas is still in the grip of a Pattern streak. It remains to be seen if the streak holds Saturday night. As for Powerball, a {4-1-1} encore isn’t likely, but stranger things have happened!

The September Streaks

No, it’s not a new dance and it’s not a new illness! It was Lotto Texas and Powerball’s turn to say goodbye to summer September 21, 2019. They both bid farewell with Pattern streaks, and with their most commonly seen Patterns, no less! Powerball got “de-powered” and had its jackpot reset to $40 million. There appeared to be no sign of Lotto Texas stepping down as once again, there were no grand prize winners. The aftermath was a jackpot that ascended to $23.75 million.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-2-1} Pattern had a four-peat with 2, 20, 31, 43, 45, and 54. This Pattern has now played 891 times.

This Pattern has now played in 52.7% of the 1692 Lotto Texas drawings and was last seen September 18, 2019.

Now with 156 appearances, the 1 2 3 Specific Order has played in 17.5% of the 891 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1692 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 9.22% of the time. We last saw the 1 2 3 Specific Order September 4, 2019.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Lotto Texas didn’t want to show too much excitement during the transitioning of seasons. There were no repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

Powerball got into the Pattern streak spirit with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat. The 158th appearance of this Pattern was brought about by 1, 9, 22, 36, 68, and PB 22.

This Pattern has now played in 38.2% of the 414 Powerball drawings and was last seen September 18, 2019.

The [2-1-1-1-1] General Order, now with 45 appearances, has played in 28.5% of the 158 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 414 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 10.9% of the time. Prior to Saturday night, the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order played September 4, 2019.

Now with 11 appearances, the 2 1 1 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in 24.4% of the 45 drawings where the General Order was [2-1-1-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 6.96% of the 158 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 2.66% of all 414 drawings. We last saw the 2 1 1 0 1 1 Specific Order in the February 6, 2019 drawing.

Three-Number Combination(s)

In the spirit of transitioning seasons, or maybe to lick its wounds, Powerball didn’t see any repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Will the Pattern streaks and Lotto Texas’s jackpot high continue through the end of September?

How Much Is a Pattern Streak Worth?

A lot, apparently.

Lotto Texas continued to enjoy its jackpot high, all thanks to a Pattern three-peat! The aftermath was a jackpot that climbed to $23 million.

Although there was no Pattern streak for Powerball (yet?), there was an encore. And, like Lotto Texas, it escaped the grasp of the players once again. This prize rose to a robust $80 million.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

September 18, 2019’s {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat was thanks to 3, 24, 26, 29, 45, and 50. This Pattern has now played 890 times.

Given that there have been 1691 Lotto Texas drawings so far, this Pattern has played 52.4% of the time. Remember that the {3-2-1} Pattern was last seen September 14, 2019.

Now with 134 appearances, the 1 3 2 Specific Order has played in 15.1% of the 890 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern.

Three-Number Combination(s)

There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Both lotteries saw their most commonly played Patterns. Lotto Texas appears to be getting into the Pattern-streak spirit, but will Powerball follow suit?

Streaking Through September

We’re changing gears here.

Yes, Lotto Texas. We know you like showing off now. We know you saw a Pattern encore and your jackpot is now $22.5 million.

We want to shine a light on Powerball. Even with its prize being claimed several times throughout the summer, there is one thing it can be proud of: A Pattern streak! Like Lotto Texas, it saw a Pattern encore in its September 14, 2019 drawing. Although nowhere near as monstrous, a healthy $70 million will be up for grabs Wednesday night.

High (Jackpot) Spirits

It sounds unbelievable, but the Lotto Texas jackpot is now roughly 35.8% that of Powerball’s! With no grand prize winners in either lottery, the jackpots stand at $21.5 million and $60 million, respectively. Even with Lotto Texas stealing the spotlight lately, Powerball looks to take some it back with the wonders of a Pattern streak.

We’re nearing the halfway mark of the month, and both lotteries have got the momentum. Of course, the elephant in the room is the Lotto Texas jackpot. Will it continue to rise the rest of the month, or will it be brought down to size Saturday night?

A Lotto-Tight Fist

An unexpected character evolution has taken hold in the lottery world over the past few months. Lotto Texas, generally the meek, unassuming lottery, has gotten a taste of crazy jackpot fever, relatively speaking. There were no grand prize winners September 7, 2019, and this pushed the jackpot over the $20 million mark ($20.5 million, in fact)!

Powerball’s jackpot hasn’t received the “nurturing” Lotto Texas has. These past few months have seen the prize reset three times. Not so Saturday night. With no grand prize winner, the jackpot now stands at $50 million.

A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak may be in the works for Powerball. That’ll be something to keep an eye out for in Wednesday’s drawing. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas doesn’t look to come down anytime soon. How high will it go?

Dorian, Dorian, Dorian. This beast of a storm has devastated The Bahamas and is making a beeline for the Carolinas. Please keep those affected and in the current path of the storm in your thoughts.

A Monster Prevention Task Force was deployed in Powerball September 4, 2019. It was nearly three weeks ago that the Powerball prize had been won. To think that the prize would be won again, and so soon, was unexpected. Thanks to some New York Charm, the jackpot reset to $40 million.

Lotto Texas continued its summer-long jackpot high with a jackpot that climbed to $19.75 million. How often do you see the Lotto Texas prize be close to half that of Powerball?

The only thing shared between Lotto Texas and Powerball Wednesday night was a love of Pattern encores. Also making a comeback from this past Saturday was the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, with its 153rd appearance. The winning numbers were 4, 8, 30, 52, 59, and PB 2.

Both the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order and the 2 0 1 1 1 1 Specific Order were last seen August 14, 2019.

Three-Number Combination(s)

A jackpot being cut down to size didn’t make for a good mood for repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Powerball has nowhere to go but up, and Lotto Texas continues its climb upward. Both lotteries saw encores for their most common Patterns, and it’ll be interesting if either one of them goes for the three-peat Saturday. The one thing on everyone’s minds is that Lotto Texas jackpot. Will it cross the $20 million mark or will it, too, be brought back down to Earth?

The Great August Wind Down

Craziness from Wednesday does not always carry over into Saturday. The night of August 31, 2019 was much quieter than what we saw earlier in the week! With this serenity came rising jackpots. Lotto Texas’s “winless streak” continued as the prize climbed to $19 million. Meanwhile, Powerball’s prize rose to $80 million.

The World According to Lotto Texas (and Powerball)

Lotto Texas dominated the lottery landscape August 28, 2019. The winless streak continued as the prize climbed to $18.25 million. What made this lottery stand out Wednesday night was that it had

  • An encore
  • A playback
  • A similar spread
  • A repeating Five-Number Combination
  • Seven repeating Four-Number Combinations

Seriously, it was like Lotto Texas had this checklist of “Awesome Ways to End the Month” and had a field day!

Powerball had its own brand of insanity. A Specific Order debut and a couple of  repeating Three-Number Combinations may seem like small potatoes, but that was enough to propel the grand prize to $70 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball will have the joint honor of playing the last day of August. Will the lead-up to September be just as wild as Wednesday, or will the month end on a quieter note?
