A Night of Whammies

We got lucky. Taken the Sunday after the storm.

The storms produced by Harvey on August 26^th knocked out our electricity, and we got our power back just a few hours ago. Our street flooded, and we didn’t get any water in the house, thankfully. However, the same couldn’t be said for thousands of others, to whom we send our thoughts and prayers. With the forecast for even more rain as the storm trudges into the Gulf again, we truly are, pardon the expression, in uncharted waters.

On the lottery side of things, both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most commonly played Patterns that night.

Lotto Texas

The {3-2-1} Pattern went for the three-peat Saturday night. With winning numbers 7, 11, 33, 41, 43, and 49, this Pattern has played in 769 drawings.

Statistics-wise, this Pattern has now played in 52.1% of the 1476 Lotto Texas drawings.

The {3-2-1} Pattern wasn’t the only encore that evening; the 2 1 3 Specific Order made its 113^th appearance. With that said, this Specific Order has played in 14.7% of the 769 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 7.66% of all 1476 drawings.

There were no repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Powerball

This Pattern has played in 38.4% of the 198 Powerball drawings and was last seen in the August 19, 2017 drawing.

Now with seventeen appearances, the [1-1-2-1-1] General Order has played in 22.4% of the 76 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern appeared. This General Order has also played in 8.59% of all 198 drawings and was last seen in the July 22, 2017 drawing.

As millions brace themselves for more rain, will these Patterns appear together in Wednesday’s drawing?

A Storm of {3-2-1}

As we here at Lottery Binge headquarters brace for a deluge and high winds, Lotto Texas and Powerball were brewing up a storm of their own the night of August 23^rd. For starters, both lotteries saw the {3-2-1} Pattern. This was an encore appearance in Lotto Texas, and for one Powerball player, a night to remember.

Lotto Texas

With 768 appearances, the {3-2-1} Pattern is king in Lotto Texas. Wednesday night’s winning numbers were 6, 9, 34, 38, 39, and 46.

This Pattern has now played in 52.1% of 1475 drawings.

Making its 112^th appearance, the 2 1 3 Specific Order has played in 14.6% of the 768 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 7.59% of all 1465 drawings. Prior to Wednesday night, this Specific Order was last seen in the April 15^th, 2017 drawing.

This debuted in the July 28^th, 2010 drawing.

Powerball

Powerball’s winning numbers were 6, 7, 16, 23, 26, and PB 4.

Unlike the {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas, this {3-2-1} is one of the least commonly played Powerball Patterns. As of Wednesday night, this {3-2-1} Pattern has played nine times. Statistically speaking, this Pattern has played in 4.57% of the 197 Powerball drawings. We last saw the {3-2-1} Pattern in the July 19^th, 2017 drawing.

Now with seven appearances, the [2-3-1] General Order has played in approximately 77.8% of the nine drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 3.55% of all 197 drawings. This General Order was seen with the {3-2-1} Pattern in the July 19^th drawing mentioned earlier.

Making its debut is the 2 3 0 0 0 1 Specific Order, now having played in roughly 14.3% of the seven drawings where the [2-3-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also now played in 11.1% of the nine drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has played, and 0.51% of all 197 drawings.

In addition to a new Specific Order, Powerball saw a repeating Three-Number Combination! The Combination 16, 23, PB 4 made its debut in the December 28^th, 2016 drawing.

Will either {3-2-1} Pattern make a repeat appearance Saturday night, or will they get swept away?

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 19^th. As for repeating Four-Number Combinations, there was only one.

Lotto Texas

Saturday’s winning numbers were 17, 20, 27, 38, 43, and 53, bringing the number of appearances of the {3-2-1} Pattern to 767.

This Pattern has now played in 52% of the 1474 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen in the August 12^th drawing exactly a week prior.

Making its 142^nd appearance, the 1 2 3 Specific Order has played in 18.5% of the 767 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 9.63% of all 1474 drawings. Prior to Saturday night, we last saw this Specific Order in the July 22, 2017 drawing.

The repeating Four-Number Combination of the evening was 17, 20, 43, and 53, which made its debut in the April 4, 2009 drawing.

Powerball

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made an encore appearance, with winning numbers 17, 19, 39, 43, 68, and PB 13.

This Pattern has now played 75 times, and in 38.3% of the 196 Powerball drawings.

Making its sixteenth appearance, the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order has played in 21.3% of the 75 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 8.16% of all 196 drawings. We last saw this General Order in the July 5, 2017 drawing.

Now with three appearances, the 0 2 1 1 1 1 Specific Order has played in 18.75% of the 16 drawings where the [2-1-1-1-1] General Order has appeared, and in 4% of the 75 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 1.53% of all 196 drawings, and was last seen in the December 28, 2016 drawing.

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?

Flipping the Script

There were no encores for either Lotto Texas or Powerball Wednesday night. For those of you who just love repeating Four-Number Combinations, August 16^th was a special night indeed. Now, you’re probably wondering “What’s the big deal? You guys mention repeating Four-Number Combinations a lot!”

Would you believe that the repeating Four-Number Combination was in Powerball? That’s like seeing snow in Florida.

Lotto Texas

Winning numbers 11, 14, 15, 18, 19, and 26 marked the 166^th appearance of the {4-2} Pattern.

Making its 32^nd appearance, the 4 2 0 Specific Order has played in 19.3% of the 166 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 2.17% of all 1473 drawings. To see when this Specific Order previously played, we need to go back to the beginning of this year. More specifically, the January 7^th, 2017 drawing.

Powerball

Wednesday night was Powerball’s time to shine. The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, ever-so-plucky, made its 74^th appearance, right after a (very) short break. This time around, the winning numbers were 9, 15, 43, 60, 64, and PB 4.

This Pattern has now played in 37.9% of the 195 Powerball drawings, and was last seen on August 9^th.

Of course, when there’s a repeating Four-Number Combination, there are four repeating Three-Number Combinations:

43, 60, 64
9, 60, 64
9, 43, 64
9, 43, 60

And from one came four. Source: lotterytrend-powerball.com.

All five of these Combinations made their debut in the February 1^st, 2017 drawing.

Will Saturday night have more script-flipping action?

Breaking Up the Streak

The {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns parted ways yet again on August 12^th. 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.

Lotto Texas

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.

This Pattern has played in 52% of the 1472 Lotto Texas drawings.

Making its 132^nd appearance, the 3 2 1 Specific Order has played in 17.2% of the 766 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 8.97% of all 1472 drawings. This Specific Order did not play alongside the {3-2-1} Pattern in this past Wednesday’s drawing. To see when the 3 2 1 Specific Order previously played, we need to go back to the June 17^th, 2017 drawing.

The repeating Four-Number Combinations of the evening were

5, 8, 16, 46 (Debuted November 27^th, 2010)
8, 16, 24, 46 (Debuted December 9^th, 2009)

Powerball

Powerball may have taken a cue from its “sister” lottery Mega Millions, since the {3-1-1-1} Pattern played here as well. The winning numbers were 20, 24, 26, 35, 49, and PB 19.

With 38 appearances, this Pattern has played in 19.6% of the 194 Powerball drawings. Prior to Saturday night, this Pattern had previously played in the July 15^th, 2017 drawing.

Making its ninth appearance, the [3-1-1-1] General Order has played in 23.7% of the 38 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has played, and in 4.64% of all 194 drawings. This General Order was last seen in the April 29^th, 2017 drawing.

Now with three appearances, the 0 3 1 1 0 1 Specific Order has played in approximately 33.3% of the nine drawings where the [3-1-1-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 7.89% of the 38 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.55% of all 194 drawings. We last saw this Specific Order in the November 26^th, 2016 drawing.

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 9^th. The night was a special one, for the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its sixth consecutive appearance! In Powerball, at least.

Lotto Texas

Wednesday’s winning numbers were 1, 7, 24, 27, 35, and 44, bringing the number of appearances of the {3-2-1} Pattern to 765.

Will these two Patterns mingle together Saturday night?

Going Their Separate Ways

Saturday night saw the split-up of Lotto Texas’s {3-2-1} Pattern and Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. In our last Lotto Texas/Powerball post, we were wondering if these Patterns were going to continue to stick together. The {3-2-1} Pattern didn’t make an appearance Saturday night. Instead, one of the least commonly seen Lotto Texas Patterns played in its stead. Accompanying this Pattern was a similar spread and a repeating Four-Number Combination. Powerball continued onward with its {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak, the Pattern now having made its fifth consecutive appearance.

Lotto Texas

The August 5^th drawing saw winning numbers 7, 26, 27, 29, 35, and 36, bringing the number of appearances for the {5-1} Pattern to 53.

This Pattern has played in 3.61% of the 1470 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen in the July 19^th, 2017 drawing.

Making its 14^th appearance, the 1 5 0 Specific Order has played in 26.4% of the 53 drawings where the {5-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 0.95% of all 1470 drawings. Prior to Saturday, this Specific Order was last seen over a year ago. More specifically, the March 23^rd, 2016 drawing.

The similar spread was shared with the winning numbers of the November 29^th, 2006 drawing. That night saw winning numbers 25, 44, 46, 47, 48, and 54, creating a spread of 19:02:01:01:06. The spread for Saturday night’s numbers was 19:01:02:06:01. Note that the order of the spreads is different, even though the difference between numbers in both drawings is the same.

The repeating Four-Number Combination of the evening was 26, 27, 29, and 35, which made its debut in the March 14^th, 2007 drawing.

Powerball

With 72 appearances, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern remains second-to-none in Powerball. The fifth consecutive appearance of this Pattern was thanks to winning numbers 11, 21, 28, 33, 45, and PB 11.

This Pattern has now played in 37.5% of the 192 Powerball drawings.

With 19 appearances, the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order has played in 26.4% of the 72 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in approximately 9.90% of all 192 drawings, and was last seen in the July 26^th drawing about a week-and-a-half ago.

Making its third appearance, the 1 2 1 1 0 1 Specific Order has played in 15.8% of the 19 drawings where the [1-2-1-1-1] General Order has appeared, and in roughly 4.17% of the 72 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 1.56% of all 192 drawings, and was last seen in the November 9^th, 2016 drawing.

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern decided to go it alone, as there were no repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Will the {5-1} Pattern make an encore appearance in Wednesday’s drawing? Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern go for a sixth consecutive appearance in Powerball?

Partners in Crime

August began for Lotto Texas and Powerball just the way July ended. How so? The {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns have now appeared together four times in a row! That’s not all that happened the night of August 2, 2017. Accompanying the {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas was a repeating Four-Number Combination. Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern was joined by a repeating Three-Number Combination.

Lotto Texas

With 764 appearances, the {3-2-1} Pattern is the king of Lotto Texas Patterns. Wednesday’s winning numbers were 4, 6, 10, 33, 41, and 44.

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern remains the most commonly seen in Powerball. With winning numbers 1, 16, 54, 63, 69, and PB 18, this Pattern has played 71 times.

This also means that the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has played in 37.2% of the 191 Powerball drawings.

Now with 22 appearances, the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has played in approximately 31% of the 71 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 11.5% of all 191 drawings. This was in fact an encore appearance; the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order had accompanied the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern in this past Saturday’s drawing.

Making its fifth appearance, the 1 1 0 1 2 1 Specific Order has played in 22.7% of the 22 drawings where the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has appeared, and in 7.04% of the 71 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared.

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 29^th 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.

Lotto Texas

Saturday’s winning numbers were 15, 20, 22, 24, 37, and 38, bringing the number of appearances of the {3-2-1} Pattern to 763.

Saturday Night Comebacks

The “dog days of summer” are upon us in Lottery Trend country. The amount of sunlight during the day may be steadily shrinking, but daytime’s a scorcher. We can add the night of July 26^th to the scorcher list. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most commonly played Patterns. Furthermore, these were last seen this past Saturday night! Of course, it wouldn’t be a sizzling hot night without repeating Four-Number Combinations in Lotto Texas, and a repeating Three-Number Combination in Powerball.
