The 4-1-1 on Wednesday Night

On Monday night, Powerball was hit with the mighty force of a reset. By way of a {4-1-1} Pattern, the jackpot grew to $34 million Wednesday night. Funny enough, Lotto Texas also saw the {4-1-1} Pattern! That Pattern was how Lotto Texas wound up with a jackpot currently larger than Powerball’s: $41 million. Even though the {4-1-1} Pattern was present in both lotteries, how it played couldn’t be any more different!

Both the {4-1-1} Pattern and the [1-4-1] General Order played December 5, 2022.

A playback was a tempting prospect, but Powerball opted for debuting the 0 0 0 1 4 1 Specific Order, instead. This Specific Order has now played in 7.14% of the 14 drawings where the General Order was [1-4-1]. The 0 0 0 1 4 1 Specific Order has also now played in 4.35% of the 23 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.12% of all 844 drawings.

Four-Number Combination

A new Specific Order and a similar spread was just a warm-up! Repeating Four-Number Combination 58, 59, 66, and PB 9 debuted in the February 1, 2023 drawing. That was just one week ago!

Three-Number Combinations

Naturally, the repeating Four-Number Combination had four repeating Three-Number Combinations buried inside:

  • 58, 59, 66 (Debuted February 1, 2023)

  • 59, 66, PB 9 (Debuted May 3, 2017 and previously played February 1, 2023)

There was room enough for a couple more:

Lotto Texas and Powerball may be different lotteries, but they aren’t above operating on the same wavelength. Is Saturday night going to be another “two great minds think alike” scenario, or will they take different paths?

The Growths That Keep on Growing

Mega Millions got slapped with a reset Friday night. That left the lottery world with two large jackpots. After January 14, 2023, two large jackpots were still present. In fact, both Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots dwarfed the Mega Millions one! Lotto Texas and Powerball’s respective jackpots grew to $31.25 million and $416 million.

Of course, Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots will have their date with the reset slap. Will Monday night buy them more time, or will that be the night when they come tumbling down?

The Three-peat & Spread Show, with Special Guests Repeating Combinations

With another Christmas come and gone, Lotto Texas and Powerball have set their sights on the future. In a few days, it’ll be 2023, and if what we’ve seen so far this week is any indication, these lotteries don’t plan on ending the year quietly!

December 28, 2022 featured more madness with a Pattern three-peat and similar spread. Those, along with the joys of repeating Combinations, gave the Lotto Texas and Powerball jackpots hearty boosts to $26.5 million and $246 million, respectively.

Some Lotteries Like to Spread Out

After a month of going nuts over repeating Combinations, Lotto Texas and Powerball may going for another approach. That approach, dear readers, is the art of the spread.

December may have just started, but there were hints of change this past Wednesday night. A similar approach happened Saturday night for one lottery while the other went with repeating Combinations. Regardless of approach, both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their respective jackpots grow to $19 million and $89 million.

Saturday’s winning numbers had a spread of 02:07:10:12:01. Similarly, the winning numbers from March 8, 2014, 18, 25, 35, 47, 49 and 50, had a spread of 07:10:12:02:01.

Both Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots continue to soar, and the art of the spread seems to be making headway. Still, it’s early yet. We’ll have to see if more similar and/or exact spreads are in the cards for these lotteries, or if they’ll abandon them like fruitcake.

Spreading Out and Rising Up

Lottery-wise, Wednesday nights are crowded. Rather than one lottery, two are vying for attention and adoration of players far and wide. Even as people are caught up in the allure of becoming an (almost) overnight millionaire, there’s an organized madness behind the scenes. Lotto Texas and Powerball, from their quietest nights to their biggest blowouts, embrace it willingly. A cold Wednesday night in mid-November is just as good as any.

November 16, 2022 was the night for “organized madness”. One lottery embraced the wonders of a similar spread while the other flirted with a repeating Combination that played twice before. Regardless of the path that was taken, both Lotto Texas and Powerball’s respective jackpots grew to $15.25 million and $93 million.

September’s Seismic Shift

Great changes came about in the lottery world Saturday night. Lotto Texas, lest it start to think too highly of itself, was knocked back down to earth. Naturally, the jackpot reset to $5 million.

An Australia Play has been featured in 6.14% of the 782 Powerball drawings and was last seen August 22, 2022.

Similar Spread

“Grand” best described September 17th’s Australia Play, and what better demonstration than a similar spread? Saturday night’s numbers had a spread of 20:11:15:10. Similarly, the September 2, 2017 drawing had a spread of 15:20:11:10. That night, the winning numbers were 6, 21, 41, 52, 62 and PB 26. Although the differences between numbers were the same, the orders in which the numbers played, and the numbers themselves, were different.

Is a jackpot reset in store for Powerball this September, and will the Australia Play return?  

Saturday Night Spread and a Dose of Playback

As one lottery flirts with the possibility of a billion-dollar jackpot, two lotteries proved they were just as worthy of attention. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw a shakeup Saturday night. Lotto Texas, ever graceful, took a chance with an uncommon Pattern. The payoff was a jackpot that grew to $8 million. On the Powerball side, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak came to an end and with it, a jackpot that grew to $130 million.

Summer Spread & Summer Streak

Whether the summers really are getting longer and hotter or it’s just you, air conditioning is a blessing. All you need to do is turn down the thermostat, plop on the couch, and let the cool air blow. That is, unless the air conditioner breaks down and you’re dripping in sweat. You may then be tempted to take off some or even all your clothes and walk around just to feel a breeze. Thankfully, lotteries don’t engage in that kind of streak. Interestingly, things get hotter in the lottery world whenever there’s a streak. A Pattern streak, that is!

July 16, 2022 was the night that Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern got into streak mode. Entering “streak mode” unleashed a bombardment of repeating Three-Number Combinations and helped push the jackpot to a robust $89 million. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas took to a different approach. Ever the classy one, this lottery switched out Patterns, which pushed the jackpot to $7.25 million.
