Another Helping of {3-1-1-1}

Right off the heels of Friday night’s drawing, Mega Millions started October with a {3-1-1-1} encore. The October 3, 2017 drawing also featured a Specific Order that hadn’t been seen in almost two years. Although we didn’t have a repeating Combination bonanza, there was a repeating Three-Number Combination or two.

With winning numbers 12, 18, 19, 25, 67, and MB 7, the {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 69^th appearance.

Given that there have now been 413 drawings, this Pattern has now played in 16.7% of the 413 Mega Millions drawings.

The [1-3-1-1] General Order made its 20^th appearance, and has now played in roughly 29% of the 69 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 4.84% of all 413 drawings. We last saw the [1-3-1-1] General Order in the August 18, 2017 drawing.

Now with three appearances, the 1 3 0 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in 15% of the 20 drawings where the [1-3-1-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 4.35% of the 69 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 0.73% of all 413 drawings. Now, the 1 3 0 0 1 1 Specific Order is a special one indeed. It previously played in the December 18, 2015 drawing. Talk about an early Christmas gift!

As for the repeating Three-Number Combinations of the evening, they were as follows:

12, 18, 25 (Debuted February 25, 2014)
12, 25, MB 7 (Debuted January 13, 2015)

Will the {3-1-1-1} Pattern go for the three-peat in Friday night’s drawing?

End the Month with a Common Pattern (or Two)

September has come and gone. With seventy-five percent of the year gone, the holiday season is right around the corner, and it’s never too early to get a head start on the Christmas shopping list, right? On the lottery side of things, September 30^th wasn’t a blowout for either Lotto Texas or Powerball. However, the night was far from “boring”.

Lotto Texas

With winning numbers 1, 8, 19, 29, 36, and 45, the {3-2-1} Pattern has now played 773 times.

These numbers produced a repeating Four-Number Combination. Source: lotterytrend.com.

Will there be Pattern encores and rare plays for Lotto Texas and Powerball this October?

End-of-Month Repeating Combination Blowout

Mega Millions was never one to pass up big plays. Instead of playing an extremely rare Pattern, or even a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore, another route was taken. For those of you who get a kick out of repeating Three-Number Combinations, September 29^th was your night! Friday saw a whopping six, count ‘em six repeating Three-Number Combinations. What triggered such a large number? We’ll get to that in a minute, but first, this general Mega Millions analysis.

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern made its 68^th appearance, with winning numbers 25, 51, 62, 73, 74, and MB 7.

Six numbers have a lot of power. Source: lotterytrend-megamillions.com.

This Pattern has now played in 16.5% of the 412 drawings and was last seen earlier in the month. More specifically, in the September 8^th drawing.

Now with 26 appearances, the [1-1-3-1] General Order has played in 38.2% of the 68 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 6.31% of all 412 drawings. Prior to Friday night, this General Order played in the August 22^nd, 2017 drawing.

Making its third-ever appearance was the 0 1 0 0 1 3 1 Specific Order. This has now played in 11.5% of the 26 drawings where the [1-1-3-1] General Order has appeared, and in 4.41% of the 68 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 0.73% of all 412 drawings, and previously played on June 13^th, 2017.

And now for the repeating Combinations bonanza. Part of what made this night so full of repeating Combinations was that there was a repeating Four-Number Combination. Repeating Four-Number Combinations are no stranger to Lotto Texas, but in Mega Millions, they don’t come by very often. This Combination was 25, 62, 74, and MB 7.

Of course, with a repeating Four-Number Combination, there are four repeating Three-Number Combinations nestled within:

62, 74, MB 7
25, 74, MB 7
25, 62, MB 7
25, 62, 74

These Combinations, and of course, the “mother” Four-Number Combination, made their debut in the December 29^th, 2015 drawing.

These weren’t the only Combinations of the evening. In fact, there were two more repeating Three-Number Combinations:

25, 51, 73 (Debuted September 16^th, 2014)
25, 51, MB 7 (Debuted January 13^th, 2015)

Will Tuesday’s drawing see a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore, or will the not often seen repeating Four-Number Combination make another appearance?

Hopping Along with a Callback

Autumn, of course, is when temperatures start to cool down. The term “Cool down” didn’t apply to either Lotto Texas or Powerball. To commemorate the first full week of autumn, there was an Australia Play and a callback to a drawing from right before Harvey. Question is, which pattern saw what play the night of September 27^th?

Lotto Texas

The {2-2-2} Pattern bounded its way to its 199^th appearance. Wednesday’s winning numbers were 2, 6, 26, 32, 42, and 49.

Now, given that was an Australia Play, the 2 2 2 Specific Order also made its 199^th appearance. Both have now played in 13.4% of the 1485 Lotto Texas drawing, and previously played on July 15, 2017.

Powerball

Unlike the {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas, Powerball’s {3-2-1} Pattern is rare indeed. Out of 207 drawings, this Pattern made its 10^th appearance Wednesday. The winning numbers for the big 1-0 were 8, 10, 21, 23, 25, and PB 22.

This Pattern has now played in 4.83% of the 207 drawings.

With eight appearances, the [2-3-1] General Order has played in 80% of the 10 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 3.86% of all 207 drawings.

Now with two appearances, the 2 3 0 0 0 1 Specific Order has played in 25% of the 8 drawings where the [2-3-1] General Order has appeared, and in 20% of the 10 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has now played in roughly one percent of all 207 drawings.

Powerball’s Pattern, General Order, and Specific Order were all seen together in the August 23, 2017 drawing!

Technically speaking, an Australia Play is a callback. On this blog, the term will be used to describe an occurrence of a Pattern, General Order (when applicable), and Specific Order that played together in a previous drawing, and are not part of an Australia Play.

Our Powerball coverage concludes with the lone Three-Number Combination of the evening: 8, 10, and PB 22.

Will Saturday’s drawing see more callbacks? Will both Lotto Texas and Powerball see the {3-2-1} Pattern?

Falling for Uncommon Patterns and (Repeating) Combinations

Autumn has arrived in Lottery Trend Country. This is a time of cooler temperatures, shortening daytime hours, and of course, pumpkin spice lattes. Before we get far down the rabbit hole of said lattes and autumnal spices, we have the matter of the Lotto Texas and Powerball drawings to cover. September 23^rd didn’t see a blowout for either lottery, but there were a couple of interesting plays, especially in Powerball.

Lotto Texas

With winning numbers 8, 10, 14, 17, 28, and 29, the {4-2} Pattern has now played 168 times.

This Pattern has played in 11.3% of the 1484 Lotto Texas drawings, and prior to Saturday night, was last seen on September 13, 2017.

Making its 33^rd appearance, the 4 2 0 Specific Order has played in 19.6% of the 168 drawings where the {4-2} Pattern has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 2.22% of all 1484 drawings, and previously played on August 16, 2017.

There were no repeating Four-Number Combinations this time.

Powerball

The 39^th appearance of the {3-1-1-1} Pattern was marked by winning numbers 24, 45, 55, 56, 57, and PB 19.

This Pattern has played in 18.9% of the 206 drawings, and was last seen August 12, 2017.

Now with thirteen appearances, the [1-3-1-1] General Order has played in roughly 33.3% of the 39 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 6.31% of all 206 drawings. We last saw the [1-3-1-1] General Order in the May 24, 2017 drawing.

The 0 1 0 3 1 1 Specific Order made its second appearance, and has now played in 15.4% of the 13 drawings where the [1-3-1-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 5.13% of the 39 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 0.97% of all 206 drawings. This Specific Order hadn’t been seen in nearly eighteen months. In fact, it made its debut in the March 30, 2016 drawing.

The repeating Three-Number Combinations of the evening were

24, 57, PB 19 (Debuted September 13, 2017)
24, 55, PB 19 (Debuted March 30, 2016)

Will either the {4-2} or the {3-1-1-1} Pattern see an encore Wednesday night?

A {2-1-1-1-1} Summer

Summer 2017 had its share of streaks and lulls in Mega Millions. The September 22^nd drawing saw that ever-so-lovable {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Although it wasn’t an encore, it’s interesting that this was the Pattern that Mega Millions decided to end the season with. In fact, this Pattern was used to kick off summer.

Now with 172 appearances, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is the reigning champion of Mega Millions. Friday’s winning numbers were 5, 39, 54, 63, 66, and MB 15.

This Pattern has played in approximately 42% of the 410 drawings, and was last seen on September 12^th, 2017.

Making its 42^nd appearance was the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order. This General Order has played in 24.4% of the 172 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 10.2% of all 410 drawings. Prior to Friday night, the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order previously played in the September 5^th, 2017 drawing.

With fifteen appearances, the 1 0 1 1 2 1 Specific Order has played in 35.7% of the 42 drawings where the [1-1-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 8.72% of the 172 drawings where the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 3.66% of all 410 drawings. We last saw this Specific Order in the June 2^nd, 2017 drawing.

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern was accompanied by repeating Three-Number Combination 5, 54, and 63.

This Combination made its debut a little more than two years ago. More specifically, in the August 25^th, 2015 drawing.

Will the fall season begin with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak?

An Australia Play with a Combination Chaser

Please keep the people of Puerto Rico, Dominica, and Mexico in your thoughts and prayers. Puerto Rico and Dominica are both dealing with the devastation of Hurricane Maria, and Mexico was hit by two earthquakes, with several hundred dead.

September 19, 2017 was the penultimate Mega Millions drawing of the summer. How interesting that Tuesday night’s drawing featured an Australia Play! Was it because it hadn’t played in six months, or was it because in Australia, spring is right around the corner?

With winning numbers 9, 28, 31, 50, 61, and MB 10, the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 14^th appearance.

The thing about an Australia Play in Mega Millions is that both the [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order and the 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order also made their 14^th appearance. Given that there have been 409 Mega Millions drawings to date, the Australia Play has played 3.42% of the time. We last saw an Australia Play in the March 7, 2017 drawing.

Hopping alongside the Australia Play were two repeating Three-Number Combinations:

9, 28, MB 10 (Debuted July 7, 2017)
31, 50, MB 10 (Debuted July 21, 2017)

To think these debuted within two weeks of each other. Source: lotterytrend-megamillions.com.

Mega Millions says goodbye to summer in Lottery Trend Country this Friday. Will there be a big shakeup, or will the evening be a quiet one?

September Spice

September is nearly halfway over, and it’s almost time to say goodbye to summer. Although autumn doesn’t start until September 22^nd (or 23^rd), Lotto Texas and Powerball were getting ready for a big send off. That is, if the results from September 13^th were anything to go by. Whether it was a Pattern that doesn’t show up often in Lotto Texas, or three repeating Three-Number Combinations in Powerball, Wednesday night was far from boring!

Of course, if you’re reading from the Southern Hemisphere, replace “winter” with “spring”.

Lotto Texas

With winning numbers 24, 35, 40, 42, 45, and 48, the {4-2} Pattern made its 167^th appearance.

This Pattern has now played in 11.3% of the 1481 Lotto Texas drawings, and was last seen on August 16, 2017.

Now with 29 appearances, the 0 2 4 Specific Order has played in 17.4% of the 167 drawings where the {4-2} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.96% of all 1481 drawings. Prior to Wednesday night, this Specific Order played in the December 14, 2016 drawing.

Here’s a real treat: 35, 40, 42, and 48, the sole repeating Four-Number Combination, made its debut nearly nine-and-a-half years ago! To be more specific, this Combination made its debut in the March 19, 2008 drawing.

Powerball

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 60^th appearance, with winning numbers 17, 24, 35, 57, 63, and PB 19.

This Pattern has played in 29.6% of the 203 Powerball drawings, and previously played in the September 6, 2017 drawing.

Making its 20^th appearance, the [2-1-2-1] General Order has now played in 33.3% of the 60 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 9.85% of all 203 drawings. This General Order was seen alongside the {2-2-1-1} Pattern exactly a week prior.

With its third appearance, the 0 2 1 0 2 1 Specific Order has played in 15% of the 20 drawings where the [2-1-2-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 5% of the 60 drawings where the {2-2-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 1.48% of all 203 drawings. We last saw the 0 2 1 0 2 1 Specific Order in the May 13, 2017 drawing.

The repeating Three-Number Combinations of the evening were

24, 35, PB 19 (Debuted August 12, 2017)
24, 63, PB 19 (Debuted March 30, 2016)
17, 64, PB 19 (Debuted May 13, 2017)

With only two more drawings for Lotto Texas and Powerball left this summer, was Wednesday night truly a sign of things to come?

Of Common Patterns

After a quiet night, the lotteries came swinging on September 9^th. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most commonly played Patterns, and were accompanied by a repeating Four-Number and Three-Number Combination, respectively. Also, in what may have been the biggest play of the evening, a Specific Order played for the first time in over a year!

Lotto Texas

Right off the heels of this past Wednesday’s drawing, the {3-2-1} Pattern made its 771^st appearance. The winning numbers were 9, 26, 32, 34, 42, and 51.

This Pattern has now played in 52.1% of the 1480 Lotto Texas drawings.

Making its 118^th appearance, the 1 3 2 Specific Order has played in 15.3% of the 771 drawings where the {3-2-1} Pattern has appeared, and 7.97% of all 1480 drawings. This Specific Order did not make an encore. Prior to Saturday night, the 1 3 2 Specific Order was last seen in the July 29^th, 2017 drawing.

The repeating Four-Number Combination of the evening was 9, 26, 42, 51.

Will Wednesday night feature a repeat appearance for either the {3-2-1} or the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern?

{2-1-1-1-1} Blocker

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern did not, repeat, did not make a fifth consecutive appearance in the September 8^th drawing. Instead, we saw a Pattern that, although has played a respectable number of times, hasn’t played nearly as often. This Pattern was also accompanied by two repeating Three-Number Combinations.

The Pattern of the evening was {3-1-1-1}. With winning numbers 4, 5, 14, 26, 73, and MB 14, this Pattern has now played 67 times.

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern has now played in 16.5% of the 406 Mega Millions drawings, and was last seen on August 22^nd, 2017.

Now with 23 appearances, the [3-1-1-1] General Order has played in 34.3% of the 67 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared. This General Order has also played in 5.67% of all 406 drawings, and was last seen on July 7^th, 2017.

Making its second-ever appearance, the 3 1 0 0 1 1 Specific Order has played in roughly 8.7% of the 23 drawings where the [3-1-1-1] General Order has appeared. This Specific Order has also played in 2.99% of the 67 drawings where the {3-1-1-1} Pattern has appeared, and in 0.493% of all 406 drawings. The 3 1 0 0 1 1 Specific Order made its debut in the September 23^rd, 2016 drawing.

The repeating Three-Number Combinations of the evening were as follows:

26, 73, MB 14 (Debuted March 4^th, 2016)
14, 73, MB 14 (Debuted March 10^th, 2015)
