A Chilly Finish

And so we’ve come to the end of November. There was nothing explosive in either the Lotto Texas or Powerball drawings Wednesday night. However, one spark of warmth appeared in Powerball.

Lotto Texas

The {3-3} Pattern made its 119^th appearance November 30, 2016, thanks to winning numbers 22, 26, 36, 45, 47, and 49.

Now that there have been 1399 Lotto Texas drawings to date, the {3-3} Pattern has now played 8.51% of the time. We last saw this Pattern a few weeks ago, in the November 16^th drawing.

Next, we come to the 0 3 3 Specific Order, making its 41^st appearance. This Specific Order has now appeared in 34.5% of the 119 drawings where the {3-3} Pattern has played and 2.93% of all Lotto Texas drawings. To see when the 0 3 3 Specific Order previously played, we need to go back to March 2^nd, 2016.

Powerball

We saw the {2-2-1-1} Pattern make its 40^th appearance. The winning numbers were 3, 14, 18, 25, 45, and PB 7.

Before you shout “Powerball Pattern Tango!” keep in mind that the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has made 42 appearances. Any murmurs of this Tango returning are premature at best.

Now, referring to the {2-2-1-1} Pattern, it has now played in 33.1% of all 121 Powerball drawings. We last saw this Pattern in the October 26^th, 2016 drawing.

The [2-2-1-1] General Order made its 14^th appearance, its first since the September 28^th, 2016 drawing. This General Order has now played in 35% of the 40 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played, and 11.6% of all Powerball drawings.

Our Powerball coverage continues with the 2 2 0 1 0 1 Specific Order. With its fourth appearance, this Specific Order has played in 28.6% of the 14 drawings the [2-2-1-1] General Order has appeared, and 10% of the 40 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. Prior to Wednesday, the 2 2 0 1 0 1 Specific Order played in the March 23rd, 2016 drawing.

The spark of warmth came from the repeating Three-Number Combination 3, 18, and 25.

This Combination made its debut earlier this year in the April 16^th drawing.

As we draw closer to the end of 2016, what will Lotto Texas and Powerball have in store?

Nice and Toasty

With a big temperature cool-down making its way through Lottery Trend Country, Lotto Texas and Powerball played it safe on November 16, 2016. How safe? They played so safe that they wrapped themselves up in the blanket of familiar plays. By “familiar” we mean “Patterns that we saw just last week.”

Lotto Texas

We saw the 118^th appearance of the {3-3} Pattern thanks to winning numbers 4, 5, 7, 37, 43, and 51.

As of Wednesday, the {3-3} Pattern has played in 8.46% of the 1395 Lotto Texas drawings. We saw this Pattern last week in the November 9, 2016 drawing.

The 3 0 3 Specific Order made its 41^st appearance. Like the {3-3} Pattern, it too was last seen on November 9^th. This Specific Order has played in 34.7% of the 118 drawings where the {3-3} Pattern appeared, and has played in 2.94% of all drawings.

Powerball

Powerball saw an encore appearance of the {3-1-1-1} Pattern. The winning numbers were 28, 41, 61, 63, 65, and PB7.

Now with 20 appearances, the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has played in 17.1% of the 117 Powerball drawings.

This gave way to the [1-1-3-1] General Order making its eighth appearance, its first since the October 15, 2016 drawing. The [1-1-3-1] General Order has now appeared in 40% of the 20 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern, and approximately 6.84% of all 117 drawings.

We wrap up our coverage with the 0 1 1 0 3 1 Specific Order. Making its second appearance, this Specific Order has now appeared in 25% of the eight drawings the [1-1-3-1] General Order has played. When looking at the 20 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has played, this becomes 10%. This becomes 1.71% when looking at all 117 drawings. The 0 1 1 0 3 1 Specific Order made its debut in the February 24, 2016 drawing.

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball continue to stay in their cool-down phase or will they warm up as the holiday season fast approaches?

A Balance in the Force

After the Earth-shattering results of the U.S. election and the rumblings in Mega Millions, we entered calmer waters on November 9^th. That is, if seeing repeating Four-Number Combinations, one of which hadn’t been seen since last decade, could be considered calm.

Lotto Texas

For starters, Lotto Texas saw the not-so-common {3-3} Pattern make its 117^th appearance. Wednesday’s winning numbers were 2, 9, 18, 42, 51, and 52.

The {3-3} Pattern has played in 8.40% of the 1393 drawings that have taken place so far. This Pattern was last seen a few weeks ago in the October 22^nd, 2016 drawing.

The Specific Order of the evening was 3 0 3, making its 40^th appearance. Out of the 117 times the {3-3} Pattern has played, the 3 0 3 Specific Order has played 34.2% of the time. When taking all 1393 drawings into account, this frequency whittles down to 2.87%. We last saw this Specific Order in the August 10^th, 2016 drawing.

One highlight of the evening was the repeat occurrence of the following Four-Number Combinations:

2, 9, 42, and 52, which first played way back on January 25^th, 2003
18, 42, 51, and 52, which first played March 5^th, 2014 and
2, 18, 51, and 52, which first played August 25^th, 2010.

Powerball

What we saw in Powerball could end up putting the kibosh on the Powerball Pattern Tango, at least for the time being. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, having previously played in Saturday’s drawing, made an encore appearance. Now coming in with 41 appearances, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern holds on to its title as Most Commonly Played Powerball Pattern. This encore was thanks to winning numbers 1, 25, 28, 31, 54, and PB 2.

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared in 35.7% of the 115 Powerball drawings.

The [1-2-1-1-1] General Order made it is ninth appearance, its first since the October 5^th, 2016 drawing. Of the 41 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern, the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order has played 22% of the time. When taking all 115 drawings into account, this Pattern has played 7.83% of the time.

Finally, we come to the 1 2 1 1 0 1 Specific Order, which made its second appearance. In the 9 drawings where the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order appeared, the 1 2 1 1 0 1 Specific Order has played 22.2% of the time. This becomes 4.88% when looking at the 41 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern appeared, and 1.74% of all 115 drawings. The 1 2 1 1 0 1 Specific Order made its debut in the April 16^th, 2016 drawing.

Will the {3-3} Pattern be bold enough to make an encore appearance in Lotto Texas Saturday? Has the Powerball Pattern Tango finally come to an end?

Saturday Night Gems

The night of October 22^nd was full of joy and sorrow in Lottery Trend Country. For starters, SMU beat UH like it stole something. After this ritualistic beat-down had taken place, Lotto Texas saw a Pattern that hadn’t played since this summer, and Powerball saw the debut of a Specific Order. Also on the Powerball side of things was a disturbance in the Pattern force.

Lotto Texas

The {3-3} Pattern made its first appearance since the August 16^th drawing. The numbers that made it all possible were 2, 5, 14, 25, 26, and 30.

Now having played 116 times, and with 1388 Lotto Texas drawings to date, the {3-3} Pattern has played 8.36% of the time.

The 3 3 0 Specific Order made its 37^th appearance, and out of the 116 drawings where {3-3} was the winning Pattern, this Specific Order has played 31.9% of the time. When we look at all 1388 drawings, this shrinks to 2.67%. We last saw this Specific Order play a little over a year ago in the October 17, 2015 drawing.

When it comes to Combinations, we saw the Four-Number Combination 5, 14, 26, and 30 make a repeat appearance.

This Combination made its first appearance two years ago in the September 17, 2014 drawing.

Powerball

Once again, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has taken back its title as Most Commonly Played Powerball Pattern. The 39^th appearance is thanks to winning numbers 1, 28, 33, 55, 56, and PB 22.

Now, out of the 110 Powerball drawings, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has played 35.5% of the time. The last time we saw this Pattern was in the October 5^th drawing a few weeks ago. In that scenario, it had tied with the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. Hopefully, this is not the start of Pattern Tango: Part Deux!

Moving on, we come to the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order, which has now made 17 appearances. In the 39 drawings that {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern, the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has played 43.6% of the time. This becomes 15.5% when we look at all 110 Powerball drawings. To see when this General Order previously played, we need to go back to the September 3, 2016 drawing.

Powerball knocked it out of the park with the debut of the 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order. Given the 17 drawings that the [1-1-1-2-1] has appeared in, this Specific Order has appeared in 5.88% of them. When taking the 39 {2-1-1-1-1} drawings into account, the percentage drops to 2.56%. Finally, looking at all 110 drawings, the 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order has played 0.91% of the time.

As the final (full) week of October gets underway, will the {3-3} Lotto Texas Pattern dare to make an encore appearance? Will the {2-1-1-1-1} retain its title or will it be ensnared in another Pattern Tango with {2-2-1-1}?

The Power of Three

Where we last left off in our Lotto Texas and Powerball excursions, we wondered if the {3-2-1} Pattern would make an encore and if {2-2-1-1} would make a three-peat, respectively. Turns out they sambaed on out. Of course, they’ll show up again someday; thus is the nature of Patterns after all. We did see the return of plays seen just a couple of months ago, and a first-time appearance of a Specific Order.

Lotto Texas

The winning numbers August 10, 2016 were provided by 1, 2, 17, 38, 51, and 54.

This marked the 115^th appearance of the {3-3} Pattern, and its first since June 25, 2016. Given that there have now been 1367 Lotto Texas drawings, the {3-3} Pattern has appeared 8.41% of the time. The {3-3} Pattern is not one that we have seen often!

The 3 0 3 Specific Order made its 39^th appearance and out of the 115 appearances of the {3-3} Pattern, the 3 0 3 Specific Order has played 33.9% of the time. If we look all 1367 drawings, the 3 0 3 Specific Order has played 2.85% of the time. Like the {3-3} Pattern, this Specific Order previously played June 25, 2016.

Powerball

Powerball was a bit more energetic. The winning numbers were brought to us by 23, 56, 61, 64, 67, and PB 12.

The Pattern of the night was a {3-1-1-1} and it previously played July 30, 2016. With its 12^th appearance, and 89 Powerball drawings to date, the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has played 13.3% of the time.

The [1-1-3-1] General Order made its 3^rd appearance, and out of the 12 times the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has played, the [1-1-3-1] General Order has played 25% of the time. Taking all 89 Powerball drawings into account, the General Order played 3.37% of the time. The [1-1-3-1] General Order previously played May 4, 2016.

This all gave way to the 0 1 0 1 3 1 Specific Order, which played for the first time last night! This means that the 0 1 0 1 3 1 Specific Order

Has appeared in 33% of the drawings (1 out of 3) that the [1-1-3-1] General Order has played
Has appeared in 8.33% of the drawings (1 out of 12) that the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has played

and

Has appeared in 1.12% of all Powerball drawings (1 out of 89).

We’re not done yet!

The August 10^th Powerball drawing gave us a Three-Number Combination in the form of 61, 64, and PB 12.

What will Saturday’s drawings bring? Will the {3-3} Pattern be bold enough to make an encore appearance? Will another Specific Order play for the first time in Powerball?

Mambos with Combos and the Australia Play Returns to Powerball

While the June 21st drawing may have seemed a bit underwhelming, the week went out with a bang. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw rarely played Combinations and Powerball saw yet another Australia Play.

Lotto Texas

The winning numbers for June 25^th, 2016 for Lotto Texas were 8, 15, 17, 40, 42, and 46.

LottoTx_20160626 — Winning numbers taken from lotterytrend.com

These numbers played in a {3-3} Pattern, which in fact last played on May 28^th, 2016. The {3-3} Pattern has now played 114 times in the 1354 drawings, bringing it up to 8.42%. Given the {3-3} Pattern, the Specific Orders that are possible are

0 3 3

3 0 3

3 3 0

The June 24^th Lotto Texas drawing saw the 3 0 3 Specific Order play, and it too previously appeared on May 28^th, 2016. With that said, the 3 0 3 Specific Order has now played 38 times out of 114 drawings, or 33% of the time in which the {3-3} Pattern has played.

June 25^th saw a Four-Number Combination in the form of 17, 40, 42, and 46.

This Four-Number Combination has appeared not once, but twice before! The first appearance was back on January 22^nd, 2003 and the second appearance was back on March 19^th, 2008.

Powerball

The winning Powerball numbers for June 24^th, 2016 were 3, 27, 36, 56, 69, and PB25.

These numbers played in a {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, which in fact played exactly one week ago on June 18^th, 2016! This Pattern has now appeared in 8 out of 76 Powerball drawings, bringing it up to 10.52%. Given the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, the only possible General Order is [1-1-1-1-1-1] and the Specific Order is 1 1 1 1 1 1. Logically, the General Order and the Specific Order also appeared in the June 18^th Powerball drawing. Just like Australia is both a country and a continent, the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern is also a Specific Order. For those of you who have just started to check out our fair blog, we like to call such plays Australia Plays.

We also saw a Three-Number Combination in the form of 3, 27, and 69.

This combination played once before on March 5^th, 2016.

Looking at the week ahead, will Lotto Texas and Powerball bring more surprises in the form of rarely-seen Combinations? Will Powerball see an Australia Play Saturday three-peat?
