Common Was the Name of the Game

October 21st was a lot of things to a lot of people:

  • Ten days before Halloween (Have you gotten your costume yet?)
  • The Astros defeated the Yankees, and are on their way to play the Dodgers in the World Series. The first game is Tuesday.
  • There were no Pattern encores.

That last bullet is what we’re focusing on in today’s post. Although neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball saw Pattern encores Saturday night, they did see their most commonly played Patterns.

Lotto Texas

With 776 appearances, the {3-2-1} Pattern is second-to-none. The winning numbers this time were 2, 18, 29, 46, 53, and 54.

Making its 21st appearance, the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order has played in 26.6% of the 79 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 9.81% of all 214 Powerball drawings. Prior to Saturday night, the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order played in the August 9, 2017 drawing.

This Specific Order has also played in 8.86% of the 79 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. Given the 214 Powerball drawings, this Specific Order has played in 3.27% of them. The 1 0 2 1 1 1 Specific Order was seen alongside the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order in the August 9th drawing mentioned earlier.

Three-Number Combination(s)

The lone repeating Three-Number Combination of the evening was 41, 42, and PB 4.

Earlier this year, the Combination made its debut in the January 4th drawing.

Will Wednesday’s drawing see these Patterns joined at the hip, or will they go their separate ways?

A Playback and a Storm of (Repeating) Combinations

True to the spirit of Saturday nights, October 7, 2017 was in the throes of parties. Number parties, that is. Lotto Texas saw a three-peat and Powerball? Powerball saw a repeating Four-Number Combination for the first time in seven weeks.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

Right off the heels of Tuesday’s drawing, the {3-2-1} Pattern ruled the night. Saturday night’s winning numbers were 2, 12, 28, 31, 32, and 42, bringing the total number of appearances to 775.

{3-2-1} reigns supreme. Source: lotterytrend.com.

This Pattern has played in 52.1% of the 1488 drawings.

The 2 3 1 Specific Order has appeared in 128 drawings, and has played in 16.5% of the 775 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 8.60% of all 1488 drawings. Lately, it appears that this Specific Order is joined at the hip with the {3-2-1} Pattern, as it too was caught in the throes of a three-peat.

Contrary to popular expectations, there were no repeating Four-Number Combinations here. As we hinted at earlier, that happened in Powerball.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

For those of you who’ve been following Lottery Binge, you know the rule. First the general analysis, and then the Combinations. Ahem.

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 40th appearance, with winning numbers 10, 49, 61, 63, 65, and PB 7.

Powerball stole all the thunder. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

This Pattern has played in roughly 19% of the 210 Powerball drawings, and was last seen about a couple of weeks ago. More specifically, in the September 23, 2017 drawing.

Now with 18 appearances, the [1-1-3-1] General Order has played in 45% of the 40 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. And, this General Order has played in 8.57% of all 210 drawings. This General Order is not an encore appearance. To see when this General Order previously played, we need to go back to July 15, 2017.

Making its fourth appearance, the 1 0 0 1 3 1 Specific Order has played in 22.2% of the 18 drawings where the [1-1-3-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 10% of the 40 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.90% of all 210 drawings. And, like the [1-1-3-1] Specific Order, we need to go back to an earlier date to see when the 1 0 0 1 3 1 Specific Order previously played. In this case, we last saw the Specific Order in the June 21, 2017 drawing.

Four-Number Combination(s)

So, for the first time in seven weeks, a repeating Four-Number Combination showed its face in Powerball:

Remember, repeating Four-Number Combinations are not common with Powerball! You know where it is common though? Lotto Texas.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Of course, we can’t talk about a repeating Four-Number Combination without the Three-Number Combinations that were “birthed” from it, can we?

  • 63, 65, PB 7
  • 61, 65, PB 7
  • 61, 63, PB 7
  • 61, 63, 65
Altogether now. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

As is the nature of this type of occurrence, these four Combinations also made their debut in the November 16th, 2016 drawing.

Will either the {3-2-1} Pattern or {3-1-1-1} Pattern make an encore in Wednesday’s drawing? Will Powerball throw another zinger and play another repeating Four-Number Combination?

The 4-1-1 on Major Plays

There were no encores for either Lotto Texas or Powerball the night of September 16th. Yet, it was far from a quiet night. Although Lotto Texas saw a repeating Four-Number Combination, it was Powerball that saw the biggest play of the evening. One of the biggest was the appearance of a Pattern so rare that it had only played twice before, and made one player $133 million richer.

Lotto Texas

With winning numbers 4, 9, 18, 36, 40, and 41, the {3-2-1} Pattern made its 772nd appearance.

This Pattern has now played in 52.1% of the 1482 Lotto Texas drawings, and was seen in the September 9th drawing exactly one week ago.

This Pattern has now played in 1.47% of the 204 Powerball drawings. We last saw this Pattern over a year ago. More specifically, the August 17th, 2016 drawing.

With its second appearance, the [4-1-1] General Order has played in 67% of the three drawings where the {4-1-1} Pattern has played, and in 0.98% of all 204 drawings. This General Order made its debut in the April 13th, 2016 drawing.

Making its world debut in Powerball was the 0 4 1 0 0 1 Specific Order. This Specific Order has now played in 50% of the two drawings where the [4-1-1] General Order has appeared, and in 33% of the three drawings where the {4-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 0.49% of all 204 drawings.

So far, it looks like Lotto Texas and Powerball are getting ready for a big send-off to summer. Will the momentum continue into next week?

Of Common Patterns

After a quiet night, the lotteries came swinging on September 9th. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most commonly played Patterns, and were accompanied by a repeating Four-Number and Three-Number Combination, respectively. Also, in what may have been the biggest play of the evening, a Specific Order played for the first time in over a year!

Lotto Texas

Right off the heels of this past Wednesday’s drawing, the {3-2-1} Pattern made its 771st appearance. The winning numbers were 9, 26, 32, 34, 42, and 51.

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.

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?

Numberclipse

Two fevers have struck Lottery Trend Country. From coast-to-coast, people are getting ready to view a solar eclipse, and the Powerball jackpot continues to soar to crazy heights. Of course, Powerball is no stranger to such. Amidst the last-minute shopping, be it for school supplies or eclipse glasses, both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most commonly seen Patterns the night of August 19th. As for repeating Four-Number Combinations, there was only one.

After the kids have gone back and the eclipse madness subsides, what will Wednesday night have in store? Will both the {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns make an encore?

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.

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.

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 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.
