The Patterns Take It Up a Notch

June 20, 2018 was an important date, to be sure! One, it was the last official day of spring, or autumn for those of you reading from the Southern Hemisphere. Lotto Texas said “Hello” to the new season with an increase in the jackpot, now at $7.5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball had its $151 million jackpot won by a single ticket sold in Oregon.  Despite their separate paths, both lotteries saw some common Patterns.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-2-1} Pattern remained second-to-none by a healthy margin. Its 814th appearance was thanks to winning numbers 4, 6, 19, 20, 21, and 45.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 4, 14, 23, 27, 56, and PB 13, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 83rd appearance. Although one of the most common Patterns in Powerball, it’s not the most common.

83 appearances is nothing to sneeze at. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

Given that there have been 283 Powerball drawings, this Pattern has played 29.3% of the time. The {2-2-1-1} Pattern previously played on June 9, 2018.

The [2-2-1-1] General Order made its 32nd appearance and has now played in 38.6% of the 83 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared. Additionally, it accompanied the {2-2-1-1} Pattern in the earlier-mentioned June 9th drawing. When looking at all 283 drawings, this General Order has played 11.3% of the time.

Now with seven appearances, the 2 2 0 1 0 1 Specific Order has played in 21.875% of the 32 drawings where [2-2-1-1] was the General Order. This Specific Order has also played in 8.43% of the 83 drawings where the winning Pattern was {2-2-1-1} and in 2.47% of all 283 drawings. Prior to Wednesday night, the 2 2 0 1 0 1 Specific Order played on November 1, 2017.

Three-Number Combination(s)

There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations this time.

Will either Pattern make an encore appearance Saturday night?

Mid-Month Breather with a Side of Uncommon Patterns

Lotto Texas and Powerball followed Mega Millions’s lead on June 16th. They took a break. This break, along with rising jackpots ($7.25 million for Lotto Texas and $151 million in Powerball), is like watching an engaging drama. The real start of summer is June 20th (or 21st), and all the biggest plays don’t—can’t—happen just yet. Give too much away, and people will tune out. Suspense must also be built, and at the same time, there should be breather periods where the audience can catch their breath.

The very uncommon {5-1} Pattern made its 56th appearance, with winning numbers 17, 41, 42, 45, 49, and 50.

So uncommon that nearly six months passed before it played again. Source: lotterytrend.com.

Given that there have been 1560 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 3.59% of the time. We last saw this Pattern just before Christmas. More specifically, the December 23, 2017 drawing.

Now with eleven appearances, the 1 0 5 Specific Order has played in 19.6% of the 56 drawings where {5-1} was the winning Pattern. This Specific Order has also played in 0.71% of all 1570 drawings. Prior to Saturday night, the 1 0 5 Specific Order played on February 25, 2017.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Repeating Four-Number Combinations were absent this time around.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 9, 45, 57, 58, 65, and PB 9, the {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 58th appearance.

Out of the 282 Powerball drawings, this Pattern has played 20.6% of the time. This Pattern previously played on May 30, 2018.

The [1-1-3-1] General Order, with 26 appearances, has played in 44.8% of the 58 drawings where {3-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 9.22% of all 282 drawings. This General Order was last seen on May 12, 2018.

The 1 0 0 1 3 1 Specific Order was last seen on October 17, 2017.

Three-Number Combination(s)

There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations this time.

Will either of these uncommon Patterns make an encore in Wednesday’s drawing?

Fanfare for the Common Pattern

After an encounter with an uncommon Pattern this past Saturday, June 13th saw Lotto Texas veer back onto a more “normal” path. Powerball, on the other hand, saw any hopes for a “three-peat” be dashed.

One thing that appeared “meant to be” after Wednesday night was the build-up for a potential blowout. With no grand prize winners for either lottery, the jackpots are now $7 million for Lotto Texas, and $137 million for Powerball. Another was the appearance of each lottery’s most commonly seen Pattern.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 5, 6, 11, 26, 32, and 53, the {3-2-1} Pattern made its 813th appearance.

Given that there have been 1559 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 52.1% of the time. This Pattern was last seen on June 6, 2018. Interestingly, that appearance was part of a {3-2-1} Pattern streak that carried over from the end of May.

Like the {3-2-1} Pattern, the 3 2 1 Specific Order had also previously played in the earlier-mentioned June 6th drawing. Now with 146 appearances, this Specific Order has played in 18% of the 813 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. This Specific Order has also played in 9.36% of all 1559 drawings.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Even with its most commonly seen Pattern, Lotto Texas went big with the {3-2-1} Pattern and the 3 2 1 Specific Order playing together again. It went even bigger with two repeating Four-Number Combinations!

  • 5, 6, 26, 53 (Debuted July 3, 2013)
  • 11, 26, 32, 53 (Debuted February 25, 2009)

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 98th appearance with winning numbers 13, 20, 38, 45, 55, and PB 1.

Powerball hasn’t seen a three-peat yet this month. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

Out of the 281 Powerball drawings, this Pattern has played in 34.9% of them, and was last seen on June 2, 2018.

The [1-1-1-2-1] General Order made its 28th appearance Wednesday night. With that said, this General Order has played in 28.6% of the 98 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 9.96% of all 281 drawings. We last saw the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order on May 26, 2018.

Now with six appearances, the 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order has played in 21.4% of the 28 drawings where the General Order was [1-1-1-2-1]. This Specific Order had played alongside the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order in the earlier-mentioned May 26th drawing. Continuing with the analysis, the 1 1 1 2 0 1 Specific Order has also now played in 6.12% of the 98 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 2.14% of all 281 drawings.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Playing an even more common Pattern than {2-2-1-1} was enough excitement for Powerball. There were no repeating Three-Number Combinations this time.

Will either the {3-2-1} Pattern or the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern see a repeat in Saturday’s drawing?

Underneath the Uncommon Pattern and Encore

With no one getting all six numbers correct in either Lotto Texas or Powerball, the jackpots have now gone up to $6.75 million and $121 million, respectively. What with a Pattern streak in Lotto Texas shattered, then that means the night was uneventful, right? Not at all! In contrast to the more obvious shows of grandiosity as of late, the excitement was subtler June 9, 2018.

Lotto Texas

The not-so-common {4-2} Pattern made its 170th appearance with winning numbers 10, 14, 17, 18, 21, and 24.

Of the 1558 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 10.9% of the time. We last saw this Pattern on January 27, 2018.

Now with 35 appearances, the 4 2 0 Specific Order has played in 20.6% of the 170 drawings where {4-2} was the winning Pattern and in 2.25% of all 1558 drawings. Amazingly, this Specific Order played alongside the {4-2} Pattern in the earlier-mentioned January 27th drawing!

Four-Number Combination(s)

Just as it was when the {4-2} Pattern last appeared, there were no repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

Fresh from its appearance this past Wednesday, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern went on to make an encore. Its 82nd appearance was thanks to winning numbers were 6, 10, 15, 25, 36, and PB 14.

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern is Powerball’s second-most-common. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

Given that there have been 280 Powerball drawings, this Pattern has played 29.3% of the time.

The [2-2-1-1] General Order made its 31st appearance and has now played in 37.8% of the 82 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. This General Order has also played in 11.1% of all 280 drawings. Prior to Saturday night, this General Order played on May 2, 2018.

Now with five appearances, the 2 2 1 0 0 1 Specific Order has played in 16.1% of the 31 drawings where [2-2-1-1] was the General Order. This Specific Order has also played in 6.10% of the 82 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.79% of all 280 drawings. This Specific Order was last seen on November 18, 2017.

Three-Number Combination(s)

There may have been a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore, but that didn’t lead to another night of repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Will other not-so-common Patterns make an appearance this week? Will the {2-2-1-1} Pattern go on to make a “three-peat”?

The Oddities of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern

In the last Mega Millions post, the question was whether the {2-2-1-1} Pattern would make an encore, or if something unexpected would happen.

The results of the June 8th lottery analysis pointed to…both.

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern not only made an encore, there were a few other surprises. That, combined with a jackpot now at $144 million, has turned up the heat in Mega Millions.

General Lottery Analysis

The 104th appearance of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern was thanks to winning numbers 14, 30, 33, 44, 56, and MB 13.

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore wasn’t alone. Source: lotterytrend-megamillions.com.

Given that there have been 365 Mega Millions drawings, this Pattern has played 28.5% of the time. Remember, it was just this past Tuesday when this Pattern last appeared.

The encore appearance of the [1-2-2-1] General Order brought its total number of appearances up to 36. This General Order has now played in 34.6% of the 104 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. When looking at all 365 drawings, this General Order has played 9.86% of the time.

Despite the Pattern and General Order encores, this did not hold true for the Specific Order. Now with three appearances, the 1 0 2 2 0 1 Specific Order has played in 8.33% of the 36 drawings where [1-2-2-1] was the General Order. This Specific Order has also played in 2.88% of the 104 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.82% of all 365 drawings. Prior to Friday night, this Specific Order was seen on December 2nd, 2016. This was a little over 18 months ago.

A span of a year-and-a-half between Specific Order play dates is interesting, but it pales in comparison to what else took place Friday night.

Four-Number Combination

The header is not a typo. A repeating Four-Number Combination really did take place, and that Combination was 14, 30, 33, and 44!

This Combination made its debut two years ago in the May 12th, 2015 drawing.

Three Number Combination(s)

Naturally, a repeating Four-Number Combination is never alone. Inside it are four repeating Three-Number Combinations:

  • 14, 30, 33
  • 14, 30, 44
  • 30, 33, 44
  • 14, 33, 44

And, like the “mother” repeating Four-Number Combination, these Combinations made their debut in the earlier-mentioned May 12th drawing.

With rising temperatures (and a rising jackpot), will Tuesday’s drawing see a {2-2-1-1} Pattern “three-peat” packed with repeating Combinations of the Three and Four-Number kind?

A Pattern Streak and a World Debut

One word sums up the night of June 6th: “Momentum”. One way to build momentum in the Lottery World is to have jackpots climb up. The respective prizes are now $6.5 million and $105 million. Another way is to stick with a Pattern Streak and throw in a brand new Specific Order.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

Right off the heels of this past Saturday’s drawing, the {3-2-1} Pattern made its fourth consecutive appearance. This time, the winning numbers were 4, 5, 13, 23, 36, and 52.

And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The 0 2 1 2 0 1 Specific Order made its world debut! With that said, this Specific Order has played in 3.85% of the 26 drawings where the General Order was [2-1-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 1.23% of the 81 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.36% of all 279 drawings.

Three-Number Combination(s)

Powerball got an extra boost of momentum with two repeating Three-Number Combinations:

Will things heat up on Saturday night with a “five-peat” for the {3-2-1} Pattern or will we see something truly unexpected?

The {3-2-1} Pattern Saga Continues

One sequel isn’t enough these days! It’s common for there to be one movie after the original story, but nowadays, Part III or higher shows up. There have even been instances where the final part of a series is split into two movies. None of that “part splitting” is present in lotteries or lottery analysis, that’s for sure, but Pattern streaks are a popular go-to.

The days are getting hotter in Houston, and Lotto Texas and Powerball followed suit on June 2nd.  Both lotteries saw their most commonly seen Patterns and with no grand prize winners, their respective jackpots now stand at $6.25 million and $87 million.

Lotto Texas

The {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat was thanks to winning numbers 6, 26, 34, 40, 43, and 54. This Pattern has now played 811 times.

Now with 146 appearances, the 1 2 3 Specific Order has played in 18% of the 811 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 9.38% of all 1556 drawings. Prior to Saturday night, we last saw this Specific Order on March 17, 2018.

Four-Number Combination(s)

There were two repeating Four Number Combinations:

  • 6, 26, 34, 40 (Debuted August 12, 2015)

Unlike the last time the {3-2-1} Pattern appeared, this instance was not a playback, and there was one more repeating Four-Number Combination. You could say that this {3-2-1} Pattern sequel was different enough to prevent a rehash.

Powerball

The {3-2-1} Pattern Strikes Back and Return of the {3-1-1-1} Pattern

Today’s post will begin with a couple of shout-outs.

First, to the class of 2018. Whether you’re a college or high school graduate, you’ve survived at least twelve years of schooling, and now it’s time to make your mark in the world. Go forth!

This next shout-out is a special one to the teachers, parents, and students of the Houston area. When tragedy struck (and boy, did it strike), we came together and said to each other, “I got your back”. And, there were some bright spots, too. All this to say, y’all earned those three months. Take that time to chill, stay sharp, and like the old Discovery Channel motto, “Explore your world.”

“Star Wars” reference aside, the post title only tells you a little bit of what went on May 30, 2018. In the most recent Mega Millions post, I mentioned sequels and how summers tend to be filled with them, especially these days. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, they’re a big deal. For lotteries, anyway.

Right now, the jackpots for Lotto Texas and Powerball stand at a respective $6 million and $74 million. Lotto Texas got hit by “sequelitis”. Powerball got bit by something else.

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball greet June with Pattern streaks/encores, or will other Patterns take the spotlight?

Playing it “Safe” with the Most Common Patterns

Memorial Day weekend is in full swing.

The NBA Playoffs are heating up (Both Eastern and Western Conferences are going to Game 7!)

Things would’ve heated up even more the night of May 26th if either Lotto Texas or Powerball saw a jackpot winner. The jackpots now stand at $5.75 million and $60 million, respectively. But, the night stayed on the “Hot, but not blazing hot”, side. Both lotteries saw their most common Patterns. For those of you out there who love repeating Four-Number and Three-Number Combinations, the night offered up a treat or two.

The Big Combination Spectacle

It’s that time of year again! Summer isn’t just a time of hot weather and long vacations. It’s full of spectacle, too. Big budget movies and televised talent shows (live, even!) beat reruns for sure. With no winners for either Lotto Texas or Powerball May 23rd, and with smaller jackpots to boot, a quiet night would’ve been expected. Of course, these lotteries had other plans. The biggest spectacle of the evening was with the repeating Combinations, especially those of the Three-Number persuasion.

Lotto Texas

Given that there have been 1553 Lotto Texas drawings, this Pattern has played 8.50% of the time. We last saw this Pattern in the May 16th, 2018 drawing. That was exactly one week prior.

Now with 40 appearances, the 3 3 0 Specific Order has played in 30.3% of the 132 drawings where {3-3} was the winning Pattern and in 2.58% of all 1553 drawings. Prior to Wednesday night, this Specific Order played on April 14th, 2018.

Its debut was sometime this decade. Nothing special right? Well, this Combination has played not once, but twice before. After making its debut March 22nd, 2017, it previously played not too long ago. This was back on March 10th, 2018.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

After a crazy Friday night, Powerball settled back down. Sort of.

With winning numbers 20, 54, 56, 61, 64 and PB 7, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 80th appearance.

Additionally, this General Order accompanied said Pattern in the earlier-mentioned May 5th drawing.

Memorial Day is traditionally considered the first weekend of summer. Will either lottery kick off the season with a  Pattern encore?
