Flipping the Script

There were no encores for either Lotto Texas or Powerball Wednesday night. For those of you who just love repeating Four-Number Combinations, August 16th was a special night indeed. Now, you’re probably wondering “What’s the big deal? You guys mention repeating Four-Number Combinations a lot!”

Would you believe that the repeating Four-Number Combination was in Powerball? That’s like seeing snow in Florida.

Lotto Texas

Winning numbers 11, 14, 15, 18, 19, and 26 marked the 166th appearance of the {4-2} Pattern.

This Pattern has now played in 11.3% of the 1473 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen in the June 21st, 2017 drawing.

Making its 32nd appearance, the 4 2 0 Specific Order has played in 19.3% of the 166 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 2.17% of all 1473 drawings. To see when this Specific Order previously played, we need to go back to the beginning of this year. More specifically, the January 7th, 2017 drawing.

Powerball

Wednesday night was Powerball’s time to shine. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, ever-so-plucky, made its 74th appearance, right after a (very) short break. This time around, the winning numbers were 9, 15, 43, 60, 64, and PB 4.

This Pattern has now played in 37.9% of the 195 Powerball drawings, and was last seen on August 9th.

With 23 appearances, the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has played in 31.1% of the 74 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 11.8% of all drawings. This General Order was last seen exactly two weeks prior in the August 2nd drawing.

Making its sixth appearance, the 1 1 0 1 2 1 Specific Order has played in 26.1% of the 23 drawings where the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in approximately 8.11% of the 74 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 3.08% of all 195 drawings. Like the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order, this Specific Order was also last seen in the August 2nd drawing.

Of course, when there’s a repeating Four-Number Combination, there are four repeating Three-Number Combinations:

  • 43, 60, 64
  • 9, 60, 64
  • 9, 43, 64
  • 9, 43, 60
And from one came four. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

All five of these Combinations made their debut in the February 1st, 2017 drawing.

Will Saturday night have more script-flipping action?

Breaking Up the Streak

The {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns parted ways yet again on August 12th. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak in Powerball came to an end, yet the {3-2-1} Pattern made an encore in Lotto Texas. Joining the {3-2-1} Pattern were two repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Lotto Texas

With 766 appearances, the {3-2-1} Pattern continued to be the most commonly seen Pattern. Saturday night’s winning numbers were 5, 8, 16, 24, 25, and 46.

This Pattern has played in 52% of the 1472 Lotto Texas drawings.

Making its 132nd appearance, the 3 2 1 Specific Order has played in 17.2% of the 766 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 8.97% of all 1472 drawings. This Specific Order did not play alongside the {3-2-1} Pattern in this past Wednesday’s drawing. To see when the 3 2 1 Specific Order previously played, we need to go back to the June 17th, 2017 drawing.

The repeating Four-Number Combinations of the evening were

  • 5, 8, 16, 46 (Debuted November 27th, 2010)
  • 8, 16, 24, 46 (Debuted December 9th, 2009)

Powerball

Powerball may have taken a cue from its “sister” lottery Mega Millions, since the {3-1-1-1} Pattern played here as well. The winning numbers were 20, 24, 26, 35, 49, and PB 19.

This Specific Order has also played in 7.89% of the 38 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.55% of all 194 drawings. We last saw this Specific Order in the November 26th, 2016 drawing.

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern didn’t produce any repeating Three-Number Combinations this time around.

Looking to the week ahead, will the {3-2-1} Pattern go for a three-peat?

Gettin’ Back Together

The {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas couldn’t bear to be without Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. After a brief breakup on Saturday, the two were seen together again the night of August 9th. The night was a special one, for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its sixth consecutive appearance! In Powerball, at least.

Will these two Patterns mingle together Saturday night?

Going Their Separate Ways

Saturday night saw the split-up of Lotto Texas’s {3-2-1} Pattern and Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. In our last Lotto Texas/Powerball post, we were wondering if these Patterns were going to continue to stick together.  The {3-2-1} Pattern didn’t make an appearance Saturday night. Instead, one of the least commonly seen Lotto Texas Patterns played in its stead. Accompanying this Pattern was a similar spread and a repeating Four-Number Combination. Powerball continued onward with its {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak, the Pattern now having made its fifth consecutive appearance.

Lotto Texas

The August 5th drawing saw winning numbers 7, 26, 27, 29, 35, and 36, bringing the number of appearances for the {5-1} Pattern to 53.

This Pattern has played in 3.61% of the 1470 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen in the July 19th, 2017 drawing.

Making its 14th appearance, the 1 5 0 Specific Order has played in 26.4% of the 53 drawings where the {5-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 0.95% of all 1470 drawings. Prior to Saturday, this Specific Order was last seen over a year ago. More specifically, the March 23rd, 2016 drawing.

The similar spread was shared with the winning numbers of the November 29th, 2006 drawing. That night saw winning numbers 25, 44, 46, 47, 48, and 54, creating a spread of 19:02:01:01:06. The spread for Saturday night’s numbers was 19:01:02:06:01. Note that the order of the spreads is different, even though the difference between numbers in both drawings is the same.

The repeating Four-Number Combination of the evening was 26, 27, 29, and 35, which made its debut in the March 14th, 2007 drawing.

This Specific Order has also played in 1.56% of all 192 drawings, and was last seen in the November 9th, 2016 drawing.

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern decided to go it alone, as there were no repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Will the {5-1} Pattern make an encore appearance in Wednesday’s drawing? Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern go for a sixth consecutive appearance in Powerball?

Partners in Crime

August began for Lotto Texas and Powerball just the way July ended. How so? The {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns have now appeared together four times in a row! That’s not all that happened the night of August 2, 2017. Accompanying the {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas was a repeating Four-Number Combination. Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern was joined by a repeating Three-Number Combination.

Will the {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns continue to be joined at the hip, or will the chain be broken Saturday night?

Two Patterns: Three Times

July has come and gone for Lotto Texas and Powerball, and things ended with them joined at the hip. In the last two drawings, both have had their most commonly seen Patterns make appearances together. The July 29th drawing marked the third time in a row that this has occurred. Not only that, these Patterns can’t go without having some sort of Combination action taking place. “Two” has become the favorite number for repeating Four-Number Combinations that show up in Lotto Texas. Powerball decided that one repeating Three-Number Combination was enough.

We can add the night of July 26th to the scorcher list. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most commonly played Patterns. Furthermore, these were last seen this past Saturday night! Of course, it wouldn’t be a sizzling hot night without repeating Four-Number Combinations in Lotto Texas, and a repeating Three-Number Combination in Powerball.

It’s a Common Thing

Unlike what took place on Wednesday night, there were no rarely-seen Patterns July 22nd. In fact, both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most commonly seen Patterns make an appearance. There were also two repeating Four-Number Combinations in Lotto Texas, one of them having played twice before! Powerball saw a repeating Three-Number Combination as well.

Two Scoops of Rare Treats

If you like rare Patterns, then you were in for a treat Wednesday night! Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw some of their least-commonly seen Patterns in the July 19, 2017 drawing. In addition to these rare Patterns playing, both lotteries saw Specific Orders that hadn’t played in two years, or thereabouts.

Another Cool Saturday Night

Halfway through the month of July and we saw another cool down Saturday night. The biggest plays July 15, 2017 were an Australia Play in Lotto Texas and a new Specific Order in Powerball.
