Lotto Texas {4-1-1} Encore and Powerball’s Australia Play

As we’ve said before, everything repeats given enough time, and repetition is truly a lottery’s best friend. For Lotto Texas, it took two weeks for a Pattern and a Specific Order to make an encore appearance. Not only that, it saw the appearance of another Four-Number Combination. Even Powerball saw something interesting in the Pattern that played. We’ll get to that a bit later.

Lotto Texas

The winning numbers for Saturday, June 18th 2016 were 2, 19, 25, 28, 30, and 51.

These numbers played in a {4-1-1} Pattern which, as we hinted at in the introduction, played just two weeks ago on June 4th, 2016. The {4-1-1} Pattern has now played 151 times out of 1352 drawings, putting it at 11.17%. This Pattern gave us the 1 4 1 Specific Order, which also played on June 4th, 2016. Of the 151 times the {4-1-1-} Pattern has played, the 1 4 1 Specific Order has now played 54 times, or 35.76%. To date, this is the most commonly played Specific Order for the {4-1-1} Pattern.

For those of you keeping an eye out for Four-Number Combos, we saw one play last night in the form of 2, 19, 28, and 51, as seen in the red box below.

Prior to the June 18th 2016 drawing, this Four-Number Combo last played July 20th 2011. This was the year that social media really took off. Hard to believe that it was just a near five years ago, isn’t it?

Powerball

Powerball saw an “Australia Play”. That is to say, we saw the winning Pattern and the winning Specific Order be the same, much like Australia is a country and a continent. We saw one of these in the June 11th, 2016 Lotto Texas drawing.

The winning numbers for Powerball were 2, 23, 41, 53, 63, and PB11.

These numbers were in a {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, which has now played in 7 out of 74 drawings, or 9.46%. As such, the only General Order allowed is [1-1-1-1-1-1] and the only Specific Order allowed is 1 1 1 1 1 1.

Prior to the June 18th drawing, this Australia Play was last seen on April 20th, 2016.

Will we see more Four-Number Combos in Lotto Texas or will the rarely seen Five-Number Combo make a debut? Will Powerball go back to what it knows and play a more commonly seen winning Pattern?

{3-2-1} and {2-2-1-1} Are Back for an Encore

Compared to last week’s sensational finale (see June 12th post), the results of Lotto Texas and Powerball may seem tame. No Four-Number Combos or throwbacks to speak of for Lotto Texas, for one. Truth is, a Lotto Texas Pattern and a Specific Order made an encore, as did the Powerball Pattern.

Lotto Texas

The winning numbers from June 15th Lotto Texas drawing were 5, 16, 23, 24, 35, and 52.

The {3-2-1} Pattern, as we’ve mentioned before, is the most commonly played Pattern to date. As of yesterday’s drawing, it has played 705 times out of 1351 drawings, or 52.18% of the time. In fact, this Pattern played exactly one week prior to last night’s drawing, that is, June 8th, 2016 (see here). Given the {3-2-1} Pattern, we saw a Specific Order of 2 3 1, which has now played 116 times out of the 705 drawings in which the {3-2-1} Pattern has occurred. This Specific Order also appeared on June 8, 2016.

Powerball

Powerball’s winning numbers were 4, 22, 24, 31, 33, and PB10.

These numbers played in a {2-2-1-1} Pattern, and this particular Pattern has now played 24 out of 73 times, or 32.9%. This commonly played Pattern (to date) played last Saturday (see June 12th post).

Last night saw the appearance of the [1-2-2-1] General Order, which now puts it at 8 times out of 29 drawings the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played, or 27.6%. This General Order was last seen on May 28, 2016.

Given the [1-2-2-1] General Order, the Specific Order 1 2 2 0 0 1 has played twice out of the eight times (25%) the [1-2-2-1] General Order has appeared. The last time 1 2 2 0 0 1 played was February 17, 2016.

Will Lotto Texas see a lull in the appearance of noteworthy Four-Number Combinations or is this the quiet before the storm? Will Powerball start to see a rarely played Pattern, or will {2-2-1-1} play for a third time?

Lotto Texas Throwback and Powerball’s Most Common Pattern

Some very interesting plays took place Saturday night with Lotto Texas and Powerball. In fact, Lotto Texas saw some of the biggest draws of the night! A very special Pattern played and the Four-Number Combination was a trip in the Wayback Machine, demonstrating even more the power of repetition.

Lotto Texas

The winning numbers for June 11, 2016 were 5, 10, 25, 36, 39, and 41.

These numbers played in a {2-2-2} Pattern, and this has now appeared 188 times in 1350 drawings, or 13.9%. Now, this Pattern isn’t like all the other Patterns we’ve discussed for Lotto Texas so far. In fact, this Pattern is much like Australia.

Why are we discussing Australia on a lottery blog you wonder? If you remember your fourth grade geography class, you learned that Australia is the only country that is also a continent. The {2-2-2} Pattern is also a Specific Order! Logically then, whenever a {2-2-2} Pattern appears, the 2 2 2 Specific Order will always play. This Pattern played a few weeks ago on May 14, 2016. Due to the nature of the {2-2-2} Pattern, it shall henceforth also be known as an Australia Play.

This particular {2-2-2} Pattern brought yet another surprise. The last four winning numbers 25, 36, 39, and 41 make up a Four-Number Combination and this Combination was last played September 2, 2000. We’re talking pre-social media, pre-iPhone days when a landline was still needed to connect to the Internet. This Four-Number Combination is in the red box below.

Powerball

Powerball may not have had the same 1-2-3 punch as Lotto Texas last night, but there were still some noteworthy observations. The winning numbers were 20, 27, 36, 41, 58 and PB 7.

The winning Pattern was a {2-2-1-1} and it last played just two weeks ago on May 28, 2016. As of today, this Pattern has played 23 times out of 72 drawings to date, or 31.9%. This is a commonly played Pattern.

NOTE: The most common Pattern for Powerball to date is in fact {2-1-1-1-1}. When that Pattern plays again, we’ll also provide the previous date in which it played.

The following General Orders are possible with a {2-2-1-1} Pattern:

[1-2-2-1]

[2-1-2-1]

[2-2-1-1]

The General Order that appeared was [2-2-1-1], which in fact is the most commonly seen General Order for this particular Pattern. Of the 23 times the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played, the [2-2-1-1] General Order last played March 23, 2016. If we take all of the times the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has played, this General Order has appeared only 13.9% of the time. The 0 2 2 0 1 1 Specific Order played, bringing it to a total of 2 out of 10 times, or 20% of the time this particular General Order has played.

Will we see another Australia Play in Lotto Texas next week? Will a Four-Number Combo that hasn’t been played in years start to make an appearance in Powerball and Mega Millions, or will Lotto Texas have all the fun?

Mambo with Four-Number Combos and 2-1-1-1-1

For the past couple of blog posts, we mentioned how everything repeats given enough time. Well, we’re here to tell you that no Patterns or Orders carried over from last week for either the Texas Lotto or Powerball. The repeats came from the appearance of two Four-Number Combinations in Wednesday’s Lotto Texas drawing. Additionally, we saw the appearance of different Patterns and Orders for both Lotto Texas and Powerball.

Lotto Texas

The winning numbers for June 8th, 2016 were as follows: 2, 13, 22, 35, 36, and 39.

TxLotto_20160608

The winning Pattern was a {3-2-1}, which is actually the most commonly played Pattern by a mile, or kilometer for our non-American readers out there. This has played 704 times out of 1349 so far, which means it has played approximately 52.19% of the time. The Specific Order was a 2 3 1, which has only played 115 times out 1349, or 8.52%. Remember that with Lotto Texas, there are no General Orders like Powerball or Mega Millions, just Specific Orders.

As we hinted at earlier, there were two Four-Number Combinations that played. The Four-Number Combination of 13, 35, 36, 39 last played nearly ten years ago on July 5th, 2006.

TXLotto_4NumberCombo20160608_A

The other Four-Number Combination of 2, 22, 35, 36 actually played a few months back on October 17th, 2015.

TXLotto_4NumberCombo20160608_B

Although a Pattern can appear again in successive drawings, a Four-Number Combination may not play again for months, or even years.

Powerball

Powerball’s winning numbers were 12, 25, 37, 60, 69, and PB 20.

PowerBall_20160608

This was a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, which, as it turns out, is the most commonly played Pattern for Powerball so far. As of Wednesday, this has played 29 times out of 71, or 40.85%. Given the {2-1-1-1} Pattern, the following General Orders are possible:

[1-1-1-2-1]

[1-1-2-1-1]

[1-2-1-1-1]

[2-1-1-1-1]

The General Order [1-1-1-2-1] played, bringing it to a total of 12 times out of 71, or 16.9%. To date, this has been the most commonly played General Order for this Pattern. The Specific Order 1 1 1 0 2 1 has played 3 times out of 12, putting it at a solid 25%.

As we await the results of Saturday’s drawings, we just gotta wonder. Will we see a Four-Number Combo make an appearance in Lotto Texas after a long absence? Will Powerball be like its sister Mega Millions and see a Pattern repeat, or will an entirely new one play?

Saturday Night Repeats (June 4, 2016)

We’ve all heard at one time or another that given enough time, everything repeats. Of course, Patterns (that’s why they’re called Patterns) and Combinations are no strangers to this phenomenon. Saturday’s drawings were a prime example of repetition, doubly so for the Texas Lotto, and you’ll see why shortly.

Texas Lotto

The winning numbers for Texas Lotto are taken from our Lottery Trend website:

TXLotto_20160604

The numbers above played in a {4-1-1-1} Pattern, which was also observed in the June 1st drawing. That puts it as having played 150 times out of 1348 drawings, or roughly 11.13% to date. Recall the Specific Orders that are possible with a {4-1-1-1} Pattern:

1 1 4

1 4 1

4 1 1

Saturday’s Specific Order for Texas Lotto was a 1 4 1 instead of a 4 1 1 we saw on Wednesday. The Texas Lotto drawing this Saturday also saw the second appearance of the Four-Number Combination. Here’s a snippet from our site; the Four-Number Combination that played last night is inside the red box. Note the complementary Two-Number Combination as well.

TXLotto_4NumberCombo_20160604

This particular Four-Number Combination played once before on March 22nd, 2014! Here’s proof in this case that everything repeats, given enough time! Will it show up again in another two years’ time? Will it be sooner or later?

Powerball

Earlier in the post, we hinted that the Powerball drawing also a saw a repeat. The winning numbers are as follows, and they were taken from our Powerball site:

PowerBall_20160604

This was a {3-1-1-1} Pattern, and it has played 10 times out of 70 drawings to date, putting it at roughly 14.29%. Again, here are the General Orders that are possible for a {3-1-1-1} Pattern:

[1-1-3-1]

[1-3-1-1]

[3-1-1-1]

Given the General Orders that are allowed for a {3-1-1-1} pattern, the General Order was a [3-1-1-1]. While the Pattern saw a repeat, the General Order did not! Nor did we see a repeat for the Specific Order. On Wednesday, we saw a 0 1 3 0 1 1 Specific Order, whereas this time around it was 0 3 0 1 1 1.

Lotto Texas and Powerball for June 1st, 2016

Wednesdays are special for us at Lottery Binge for that’s one day (Saturday is the other) that both Texas Lotto and Powerball play. We’re going to first discuss Texas Lotto and then on to Powerball. If you’re just here for the Powerball analysis, then scroll down.

Texas Lotto, if the name weren’t a giveaway, is the state lottery for Texas (Yee haw!).

The winning numbers for Lotto Texas are as follows:

TexasLotto_June022016

The winning Pattern was {4-1-1}, and it has played 149 times out of 1347 drawings to date. For those of you who are big into stats, that’s roughly 11.06%. Given the {4-1-1} pattern, you can expect the following Specific Orders:

1 1 4

4 1 1

To all the Texas Lotto players out there: this lottery has Specific Orders only. Both the Mega Millions and the Powerball lotteries feature General and Specific Orders.

Speaking of Powerball, this is the other lottery that’s played across 44 states, as well as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia. Here were winning numbers for June 1st:
