For January, a Pattern Streak

There was one Pattern that dominated the month and that was the {3-2-1}. This Pattern found itself more at home in Lotto Texas on January 26, 2019. Meanwhile, Powerball stuck with one of its more common Patterns. But, one thing that can be said about both lotteries is that with no grand prize winners, their respective jackpots rose to $6 million and $174 million.

As January winds down, will the {3-2-1} Pattern streak continue in Lotto Texas and will there be a Pattern encore in Powerball?

Night of the Living {3-2-1} Pattern

The {3-2-1} Pattern slayed it! Let it be known that on January 23, 2019, not only did this Pattern establish a streak in Lotto Texas, it made an appearance in Powerball. Powerball! Rising jackpots kept the fire burning. With the lotteries’ respective jackpots now $5.75 million and $161 million, hopefully the cold will stay away for a while. In the lottery world, at least.

As winter ramps up, will things stay toasty in Lotto Texas with a {3-2-1} five-peat? Could Powerball’s {3-2-1} Pattern do the unexpected and make an encore?

Lotto Texas & Powerball Follow the Cold

Would you believe that there were six repeating Three-Number Combinations in Lotto Texas last week? And that five of them were thanks to a repeating Five-Number Combination? Well, nothing that grand happened January 19^th, 2019. As winter held the U.S. in its icy grip, both Lotto Texas and Powerball matched the chilly mode. The result was a jackpot rise to the tune of $5.5 million and $144 million, respectively.

Although, to be fair, last week’s act was a tough one to beat.

Restoring the Powerball “Order”

Amazing how much difference a few days can make! Last time, it was Lotto Texas that claimed the night. On January 16^th, 2019, things went back to “normal”. That is, Powerball once more became the dominant one. There were a couple of commonalities between them, however. One was rising jackpots. These prizes increased to $5.25 million for Lotto Texas and $129 million for Powerball. The other was Pattern encores.

Watch Out for the Quiet One

We’ve all been warned at some time or another to “Beware the quiet ones.” Based on our analysis, the resident “quiet one” is Lotto Texas. Although its prizes don’t achieve the monstrous sizes we’ve seen in Mega Millions and Powerball, it presents itself in a respectable manner. After all, claiming a $12.5 million prize is nothing to be down about.

January 12, 2019 was the night that, in an uncharacteristic moment, it was unrestrained. In fact, Lotto Texas ruled the night! There was more—far more—to Saturday night than someone winning. Describing it here in the introduction would be a grave injustice!

Keeping up with this flip-flopped scenario, Powerball was the one keeping to itself. Its prize rose to $112 million with little fanfare.

Far from the Madness

This past Saturday and January 9, 2019 were worlds apart. On Saturday, we saw repeating Four-Number Combinations in both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Wednesday…was not like that. The lotteries took a subtler approach; no encores, no fireworks. Their respective grand prizes rose quietly to $12.5 million and $96 million. But, as (comparatively) quiet as things were, Wednesday night was far from boring!

Three-Number Combinations

There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations for Powerball. Perhaps it peeked at Lotto Texas’s playbook?

The odds of crazy-high jackpots next year look promising, what with what’s going on in Mega Millions right now. Could there be another record-breaking Pattern streak, or at least tie the one that was set this year?

Have a Happy New Year, and we’ll see y’all in 2019!

Gift of the Powerball

Lotto Texas and Powerball were like the Northern and Southern Hemispheres December 26^th. They were polar opposites (no pun intended)! While it’s winter in New York City, it’s summertime in Sydney.

Speaking of New York City, Powerball gifted one player from Brooklyn with $298.4 million! That brought the jackpot down to a more “respectable” $40 million. Lotto Texas, ever the classy one, saw its jackpot ease on upward to $10 million.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-2-1} Pattern was so well-loved that Lotto Texas asked for it to come back for an encore! With winning numbers 5, 26, 33, 40, 42, and 47, this Pattern has now played 848 times.

Of the 1615 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 52.5% of the time.

Now with 152 appearances, the 1 2 3 Specific Order has played in 17.9% of the 848 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 9.41% of all 1615 drawings. We last saw this Specific Order on December 1^st, 2018.

Four-Number Combination(s)

An encore wasn’t all the {3-2-1} brought with it; there were also two repeating Four-Number Combinations.

5, 26, 40, 42 (Debuted October 30^th, 2002)
26, 33, 40, 47 (Debuted May 31^st, 2017)

Encore comes with two repeating Combinations of the four-number kind. Source: lotterytrend.com.

Hard to believe that one of these Combinations debuted sixteen years ago, and to think that we’re on the cusp of a new year! Time keeps on slipping, as they say.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

Would you believe that it was an Australia Play that gifted the sole Powerball winner? The winning numbers were 5, 25, 38, 52, 67, and PB 24.

Given the nature of the Australia Play, that means the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order, and 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order have played 23 times. With there being 337 Powerball drawings, the Australia Play has appeared in 6.82% of them. Prior to Wednesday night, the Australia Play was seen August 8^th, 2018.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Hopping alongside the Australia Play was lone repeating Three-Number Combination 25, 52, and 67.

This Combination made its debut January 21^st, 2017.

The last lottery drawing of the year is this Saturday. Will the year end with a Pattern streak in Lotto Texas or perhaps someone becoming $10 million richer?
