The Tale of the Repetitious Pattern

In the lottery world, repetition is power. A Pattern encore, or better yet, a Pattern streak, increases a Pattern’s tally and influence. Without Pattern encores and streaks, it’s unlikely that the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern would hold the title of most common Pattern in Mega Millions. Even better still is when a Pattern encore makes a large impact, and Friday night did not disappoint.

Friday night’s Pattern encore made two impacts. One such impact was the jackpot rising to $150 million. The other involved Combinations, and Lordy, there were Combinations!

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern returned to Mega Millions with 5, 11, 41, 44, 55 and MB 14, bringing the number of appearances to 247.

This Pattern has now played in 28% of the 881 Mega Millions drawings and was last seen May 16, 2023.

The May 19, 2023 drawing also featured the [2-1-2-1] General Order. Now with 78 appearances, this General Order has played in 31.6% of the 247 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 8.85% of all 881 drawings. April 14, 2023 was the last time the [2-1-2-1] General Order played.

Now with nine appearances, the 2 0 1 2 0 1 Specific Order has played in 11.5% of the 78 drawings where the General Order was [2-1-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 3.64% of the 247 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.02% of all 881 drawings. Prior to Friday night, the 2 0 1 2 0 1 Specific Order played May 27, 2022.

Four-Number Combination

Repeating Four-Number Combination 11, 41, 44 and MB 14 debuted August 26, 2016.

Three-Number Combinations

Naturally, four repeating Three-Number Combinations were found at the site of the repeating Four-Number Combination. In fact, one played twice before!

  • 11, 41, 44
  • 11, 41, MB 14
  • 11, 44, MB 14
  • 41, 44, MB 14

All the above Combinations debuted in the earlier-mentioned August 26th drawing. Additionally, the first Combination in the list above was last seen May 13, 2022.

There was, in fact, one last Combination. Repeating Three-Number Combination 5, 11 and MB 14 debuted in the September 11, 2015 drawing.

Is the {2-2-1-1} Pattern on tap for a three-peat Tuesday night?

The Mansfield Maneuver and The One That Got Away

The rising jackpot train came to a  stop for Lotto Texas Wednesday night. Thanks to a player from the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, Mansfield, to be precise, the jackpot was reset to $5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball managed to give players the slip, and it grew to $162 million.

Will an Australia Play be what forces Powerball to reset Saturday night?

Playback: So Close and Yet So Far

May 16, 2023 seemed like a good night for a playback. The school year’s over, or just about, and the mischief a playback provides would be one way Mega Millions could kick off summer (for those old enough to play, anyway). Somewhere along the way, Mega Millions changed its mind. Even though the playback was aborted, the jackpot grew to $132 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Tuesday night’s winning numbers were 15, 34, 36, 69, 70 and MB 17. This brought the number of appearances by the {2-2-1-1} Pattern to 246. There have been 880 Mega Millions drawings, and this Pattern has played 28% of the time.

The Power of the Pattern Influencer

Some Patterns are more influential than others. They either show up the most or they’re present in all The Big Three, that is, Lotto Texas, Powerball, and Mega Millions. For example, the {3-2-1} Pattern is the most common in Lotto Texas, and it also shows up in both Mega Millions and Powerball from time to time. Should the {3-2-1} Pattern be present in both Lotto Texas and Powerball, as was the case May 6, 2023, there’s bound to be a show.

And what a show it was! The {3-2-1} Pattern remained with Lotto Texas, and it also paid Powerball a visit. This Pattern’s presence in both lotteries boosted their respective jackpots to $6.5 million and $97 million.
