The Great Combination Shakeup

There are two ways to end the month: wild and crazy or calm and collected. All signs so far point to lotteries full of energy and ready to end June on a memorable note!

June 26, 2019 was a busy night for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. A playback was afoot and repeating Three-Number Combinations were abundant! Both lotteries also teamed up to thwart players once more. With no winners, the prizes for Lotto Texas and Powerball climbed to $8.75 million and $137 million, respectively.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 1, 19, 26, 34, 35, and 41, the {4-1-1} Pattern made its 180th appearance.

Of the 1667 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 10.8% of the time.

Now with 61 appearances, the 1 4 1 Specific Order has played in 33.9% of the 180 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1667 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 3.66% of the time.

Lotto Texas had the honor of hosting a playback! Prior to Wednesday night, both the {4-1-1} Pattern and the 1 4 1 Specific Order were last seen May 11, 2019.

Four-Number Combination(s)

There are two possible reasons for a lack of repeating Four-Number Combinations. One was the earlier-mentioned playback. The other was the avalanche of repeating Four-Number Combinations this past Saturday.

Of course, the most important question is “Did Powerball see a playback, too?”

Powerball

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 106th appearance with winning numbers 1, 5, 16, 22, 54, and PB 24.

Given the 389 Powerball drawings so far, this Pattern has played 27.2% of the time and was last seen May 18, 2019.

The [2-2-1-1] General Order, now with 44 appearances, has played in 41.5% of the 106 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 389 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Pattern has played 11.3% of the time. The [2-2-1-1] General Order was last seen March 20, 2019.

Now with eight appearances, the 2 2 0 1 0 1 Specific Order has played in roughly 18.2% of the 44 drawings where the General Order was [2-2-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 7.55% of the 106 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 2.06% of all 389 drawings. Prior to Wednesday night, the 2 2 0 1 0 1 Specific Order played June 20, 2018.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Powerball may not have seen a playback, but it certainly saw repeating Three-Number Combinations. Four of them, in fact!

One thing that’s certain about Saturday night is that neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball will end June with a Pattern streak. Will the month end with more climbing jackpots or at least one Pattern encore?

Lottery Summer Block Party

For the past couple of drawings, both Lotto Texas and Powerball took it easy with the wild plays and crazy jackpots. Summer is about relaxing, after all. But summer is also a time of boldness, and that’s what we saw June 22, 2019.

The first Saturday of summer saw Lotto Texas, usually the humble one, rule the night! This lottery’s boldness kept players on their toes and ultimately prevented anyone from winning the grand prize. The jackpot rose to $8.25 million as a result. Even though Lotto Texas dominated, Powerball didn’t slack off. Thanks to its own tricks, the jackpot over there rose to $122 million!

The {3-2-1} Pattern got back on its feet and made its 876th appearance with winning numbers 4, 5, 17, 29, 35, and 46.

Of the 1666 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 52.6% of the time and was last seen June 19, 2019.

Once all 1666 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 9.54% of the time. Prior to Saturday night, the 3 2 1 Specific Order played June 8, 2019.

Five-Number Combination

The {3-2-1} Pattern was determined to return bigger and badder than before. This was achieved by the power of a repeating Five-Number Combination!

Of course, what’s a repeating Five-Number Combination without his buddies? Whenever a repeating Five-Number Combination shows up, he’s got five repeating Four-Number Combinations crowding around him!

With winning numbers 3, 6, 11, 14, 66, and PB 21, the {4-1-1} Pattern made its 10th appearance.

This Pattern has played in 2.58% of the 388 Powerball drawings and was last seen February 20, 2019.

The [4-1-1] General Order, now with five appearances, has played in 50% of the 10 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 388 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 1.29% of the time. The [4-1-1] General Order was last seen February 9, 2019.

Powerball’s contribution to the block party was the debut of the 4 0 0 0 1 1 Specific Order! With that said, this Specific Order has now played in 20% of the five drawings where the General Order was [4-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 10% of the 10 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.26% of all 388 drawings.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Three-Number Combinations didn’t show up at the party.

A repeating Five-Number Combination is a tough act to follow! Not much can top it save maybe a Pattern streak or a crazy large jackpot. The crazy large jackpot is more Powerball’s territory, but the {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas might be able to squeeze out a streak to end the month. Although, one must wonder if another repeating Five-Number Combination will show up next week, or if this was one of those “Snow in Florida” kind of things.

Making the Quiet Roll?

Remember the honor roll back when we were kids? Whether a source of inspiration, or the source of future bullying victims, schools had a way of posting the names of those who made high marks. If schools have honor rolls, then what do lotteries have when they don’t make a big splash?

In some ways, June 19th was much like this past Saturday. Things were quiet on the repeating Combination front and one Pattern didn’t want to leave the spotlight. With no grand prize winners in either Lotto Texas or Powerball, their respective jackpots rose to $8.25 million and $108 million.

Of the 1665 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 52.6% of the time and was last seen June 8, 2019.

Now with 167 appearances, the 3 1 2 Specific Order has played in 19.1% of the 875 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1665 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played roughly 10% of the time. Prior to Wednesday night, the 3 1 2 Specific Order played June 1, 2019.

Four-Number Combination(s)

The lack of a Pattern encore was one reason Lotto Texas made the “Quiet Roll”. The other was for lack of repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

Perhaps the biggest play of the evening was the {3-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat! Winning numbers 4, 18, 21, 26, 38, and PB 1 made the 80th appearance of this Pattern possible.

Of the 387 Powerball drawings, this Pattern has played 20.7% of the time and was last seen June 15, 2019.

The [1-3-1-1] General Order, now with 23 appearances, has played in 28.75% of the 80 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 5.94% of all 387 drawings. The [1-3-1-1] General Order was last seen June 12, 2019.

Now with four appearances, the 1 3 1 0 0 1 Specific Order has played in 17.4% of the 23 drawings where the General Order was [1-3-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5% of the 80 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.03% of all 387 drawings. We last saw the 1 3 1 0 0 1 Specific Order September 15, 2018.

Three-Number Combination(s)

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat was all Powerball could muster. There wasn’t enough energy for a repeating Three-Number Combination.

These past couple of drawings have seen Lotto Texas and Powerball take a break from mad plays. If you’re one for Pattern streaks, Australia Plays, and whatnot, June isn’t over yet! Going into Saturday’s drawing, all that’s certain is the jackpots for the lotteries are higher than they were Wednesday night. Will the {3-1-1-1} Pattern aim for a Pattern streak?

Lotteries of Solitude

After the madness we saw this past Wednesday, Lotto Texas and Powerball earned a well-deserved rest. On June 15th, they said “No!” to wild plays and Pattern streaks. Save for a Pattern encore and prizes that respectively rose to $8 million and $92 million, Saturday night was one of the quietest we’ve had in a while.

Keeping with the idea of embracing solitude, there were no repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Powerball

Powerball liked the {3-1-1-1} Pattern so much that it was asked to come back! This Pattern made its 79th appearance with winning numbers 8, 11, 14, 16, 49, and PB 14.

Three-Number Combination(s)

 There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations this time.

Was Saturday night a prelude for how the rest of the month will be or is it the calm before the storm? There is another half of June left in play, after all!

Night of the Living “3”

June 12th, 2019 was taken over by the number 3! The little guy made himself at home in both Lotto Texas and Powerball, whether by showing up alone, as part of another number, or by other means. Means that were tied to a Combination, perhaps?

The invasion left both lotteries without a grand prize winner. Their respective jackpots rose to $7.75 million and $79 million.

Three-Number Combination(s)

To add on to the triple threat playback action, there was a trio of repeating Three-Number Combinations!

Seems like Powerball loved “3” a little bit more than Lotto Texas! There was enough love to go around, and both lotteries got a healthy dose. Will either lottery continue its fascination with “3” on Saturday or will another number catch their attention?

Lotto Texas and Powerball Flee the Heat

You know it’s summer, or close to it, when it’s so hot outside you need to lower the car windows to let all the heat escape! When it’s that hot, the best remedies tend to be a dip in the pool, grabbing a snow cone or two, or staying put, giving glory to the wonders of air conditioning.

June 8th was so hot that Lotto Texas and Powerball didn’t exert themselves much. However, “taking it easy” did not mean “lazy” with these two! Both lotteries played their most-common Patterns. This “safe” play sent the grand prizes to $7.5 million and $66 million, respectively.

Both the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order and the 2 0 1 1 1 1 Specific Order were last seen May 25, 2019.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Powerball took a page out of this past Wednesday’s drawing and took a break from the repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Given that both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most common Patterns, we’ll have to see if Wednesday will feature an encore from either one. After all, part of how the {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns became so common in their respective lotteries is due to Pattern streaks! Encores are the steppingstone.

Lotto Texas and Powerball Hop into a Bar

The title of today’s post sounds like the setup for a corny joke, doesn’t it? Well, what happened June 5th, 2019 was no laughing matter! The dust may have settled in Powerball, but that meant more reason for it to get back up again. Although a far cry from the monstrous prize won at the beginning of the month, $53 million is not small change!

Lotto Texas, ever the levelheaded one, was no slouch, either. With no grand prize winner, its jackpot rose to a respectable $7.25 million.

This Specific Order has also played in 4% of the 25 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 383 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 0.26% of the time.

Three-Number Combination(s)

There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations this time.

Whoever thinks that only crazy-large jackpots are the way to wowing the public must not have paid attention to Wednesday night! Lotto Texas and Powerball showed that a more subtle approach can work just as well. Even so, the weekend is right around the corner and that’s when things tend to get rowdy. We’ll have to wait and see if that rowdiness appears or if the mellowness of June continues.

Sublime Lotto Texas and the Powerball Breakaway

Nothing like the start of a new month to highlight the differences between two lotteries, right? June 1, 2019 belonged to Powerball. Both it and “sister” Mega Millions love enormous jackpots. While the sister will be starting the month with a beast of a prize, Powerball broke rank. A plucky player from North Carolina brought the jackpot down to size, with $40 million being up for grabs Wednesday.

Lotto Texas may never see prizes of that magnitude, but it should never be discounted. The jackpot went unclaimed and quietly rose to $7 million.

The dust has settled in Powerball and June will be a much-welcomed break, jackpot-wise at least. There are other ways Powerball can keep the momentum going. Saturday night’s Pattern is fond of streaks, and an encore for Wednesday night is something to look out for. Same with Lotto Texas. Could June 5th be a night of double Pattern encores?

The Aussie Bounce and Playback Pounce

May 29th played host to Lotto Texas and Powerball’s last drawings for the month. As thrilling as it would have been to see the Powerball jackpot beast be toppled, it wasn’t meant to be. One could argue that what happened Wednesday night was just as exciting, if not more. Sure, the prizes in Lotto Texas and Powerball respectively climbed to $6.75 million and $350 million, but how often do you see playbacks join forces to thwart the players?

The double playback action has Lotto Texas and Powerball fired up for June. On one hand, we all want to win, especially that crazy-high jackpot. On the other hand, we’re all asking in the back of our minds “How high can Powerball go?”

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball continue to run on their momentum or will at least one of them start June with their sails deflated?

Of Shattered Streaks and Jackpot Beasts

Lotto Texas had some of the biggest upsets this past Saturday night. The {3-2-1} Pattern, having already played three times in a row, did not go on to a fourth appearance. With the King of Lotto Texas Patterns knocked off the throne, the prize rose to a respectable $6.5 million.

Meanwhile, Powerball found itself getting acquainted with not just a Pattern encore, but a General Order encore as well! The beast of a jackpot continued its rampage unabated. It happily welcomed a growth spurt and shot up to $325 million.

What all was responsible for the madness that took place May 25, 2019?

With May nearly done, Powerball has the jackpot momentum going for it. Wednesday will be the last drawing of the month for both lotteries and it remains to be seen if Powerball will surge onward to June or if the prize will be claimed. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is fond of Pattern streaks, or at least trying to establish them, so a three-peat is something we’ll need to keep an eye on.

Lotto Texas, the ever-so-quiet one, can’t be counted out. The prize is nothing to sneeze at and it’s possible that the {4-2} Pattern may well surprise us!
