Sticking with the Tried and True

The theme for August 4, 2021 was “Repeat”. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw at least one repeating Four-Number Combination and one repeating Three-Number Combination, respectively. More importantly, they fell into a groove with their most common Patterns. Sticking with the tried and true brought a playback, a three-peat, and rising jackpots! Lotto Texas rose to $9.25 million, and Powerball crossed comfortably into the realm of $226 million.

There have now been 1887 Lotto Texas drawings, and this Pattern has played 52.7% of the time.

These six numbers also triggered an encore for the 3 2 1 Specific Order.

Once all 1887 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 9.43% of the time.

Both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the 3 2 1 Specific Order were last seen July 31, 2021.

Similar Spread

Lotto Texas was so in the groove that a similar spread was present! Wednesday night’s spread was 05:02:14:03:17. Let’s now look at 8, 22, 24, 27, 32 and 49, the winning numbers from December 2, 2000. That night the spread was 14:02:03:05:17. The differences between the numbers played each night was the same but of course, their orders were different.

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball hold on to their most common Patterns Saturday night?

A Different Game Plan

Things looked promising for Mega Millions. After three repeat appearances from the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, this lottery was poised and ready for a Pattern streak. An Olympic streak of this nature isn’t unprecedented.

The night of August 3, 2021 was the end. Mega Millions couldn’t grab a hold of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern and with it, the hopes for a Pattern streak came falling down. This of course led to another Pattern getting a shot at creating a streak of its own. As Mega Millions grabbed hold of another Pattern, it also tried for a playback and saw its jackpot rise to $191 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 189th appearance with 1, 9, 17, 27, 34 and MB 24.

This Pattern has now played in 27.2% of the 694 Mega Millions drawings.

The [2-2-1-1] General Order, now with 65 appearances, has played in 34.4% of the 189 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 694 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 9.37% of the time.

Both the {2-2-1-1} Pattern and the [2-2-1-1] General Order played July 16, 2021.

With that said, a playback wasn’t favored. The 2 2 1 0 0 1 Specific Order made its first appearance since January 12, 2021. Now with eight appearances, this Specific Order has played in 12.3% of the 65 drawings where the General Order was [2-2-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 4.23% of the 189 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.15% of all 694 drawings.

Three-Number Combinations

Dreams of a Pattern streak and a playback were deferred, but there was enough room for a trio of repeating Three-Number Combinations:

Now with the {2-2-1-1} Pattern taking up the reins, will it go on to make an encore Friday night?

The Golden Road to Millions

The lottery is a sport of a different kind. No hours of training are necessary, and you don’t need to stick to a strict diet as you would with other sports. All you need is a few dollars, a ticket, picking six numbers, and a strategy. Pick the right ones, and you’ll soar into a (hopefully) less stressful life.

Lotteries themselves, like Lotto Texas and Powerball, take part in games of their own. A favorite of theirs is playing “Keep Away”, also known as, “How to drive players mad whilst increasing the jackpot?” On July 31, 2021, they succeeded in giving their jackpots a boost. Lotto Texas soared to $9 million, and Powerball leapt past the $200 million line to $211 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Powerball may have borrowed a few pointers from Mega Millions. With winning numbers 1, 21, 22, 34, 47 and PB 4, Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made an encore and with it, its 231st appearance!

Three-Number Combinations  

Along the way to $211 million, Powerball tagged a trio of repeating Three-Number Combinations:

Lotto Texas may not have a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern of its own, but it does have the {3-2-1} Pattern. This, of course, is Lotto Texas’s most commonly played Pattern, and it too is known for encores. Will we see more of both the {3-2-1} and {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern this week?

Mega Millions’ Pattern Persistence

“Persistence is key!”

“Perfect practice makes perfect!”

Whether it’s training for a track meet or simply taking up a new hobby, we’ve all heard the above phrases at one time or another. After all, you won’t see much improvement without consistency and practicing techniques correctly.

Mega Millions may not have mastered the art of “perfect practice”, but it has a way with persistence! Some Patterns have a way of showing up more often than others, and the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern fit the bill Friday night. This Pattern returned once more for the July 30, 2021 drawing and with it came another boost to the jackpot, blazing ahead to $179 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat was thanks to 19, 26, 31, 52, 68 and MB 10. What makes this three-peat special is that the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has now played 300 times!

Mega Millions was in the grip of a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak the last time the Summer Olympics were taking place. Then, the Pattern played six times in a row. Is Mega Millions setting itself up to break this record in the drawings ahead?

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Golden Opportunity

Playing the lottery is like a game of cat-and-mouse. Players are after the big bucks, and the lottery itself is avoiding capture for as long as possible. Although no one would turn their nose up at $50 million, just about everyone would salivate at the potential to win $200 million or even $1 billion!

A billion-dollar jackpot is a ways off. In any case, fortune smiled upon Lotto Texas and Powerball Wednesday night. That good fortune, of course, was not getting caught! This opened a golden opportunity to boost their jackpots and getting the players psyched up to try again. Lotto Texas clocked in at $8.75 million and Powerball at $199 million.

Will Saturday night see the return of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern in Powerball, and could either lottery see a playback?

The Great Double Comeback

Special thanks to guest blogger Romulun Harris for filling in on short notice!

We’ll cut right to the chase: The July 27, 2021 Mega Millions drawing produced a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore. That in and of itself wasn’t too out of the ordinary. What made this encore noteworthy was that the Pattern didn’t go it alone. No, there wasn’t a playback, but a General Order, [1-2-1-1-1] in this case, joined in on the encore frenzy. No records were shattered, but the Pattern and General Order gave it their all and pushed the jackpot to $166 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore was made possible by 2, 35, 36, 54, 64 and MB 11. This Pattern has now played 299 times.

Mega Millions’ Weekend Opening Ceremony

After having been delayed for a year, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics kicked off July 23, 2021. Even without a massive gathering of spectators, the opening ceremony was still a sight to behold. The event appeared low-key on the surface, but under the surface was energy and quirkiness.

Mega Millions took a similar approach Friday night. Although the drawing didn’t come with an Australia Play encore, the jackpot rose all the same! More specifically, it rose to $153 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 298th appearance with 13, 17, 19, 40, 69 and MB 17.

Caught Up in the Whirlwind

The unofficial motto of the United States Postal Service (USPS) boils down to this: Nothing can keep a good postal worker down. Well, almost nothing. Postal workers are human after all and like any human, they fall prey to illness, injury, and let’s not forget human error. Deliveries can and do get delayed if Mother Nature doesn’t play nice.

Lotteries are immune to the things that plague humans. Powerball laughs in the face of sick days, and along with its “siblings” Lotto Texas and Mega Millions, keeps on ticking in the face of floods and power outages. Lotteries, see, are often the ones stirring up the trouble, what with Pattern streaks, playbacks, and so forth. While these were absent July 21, 2021, there was a Pattern encore, an important steppingstone in the creation of said Pattern streaks. Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their respective jackpots climb to $8.25 million and $174 million.

Meditating Mega Millions

With all the chaos and confusion that has gripped the world, especially for the past year-and-a-half, one thing still manages to hold strong. The Tokyo Olympics will officially start Friday, even with thousands (more like millions) calling for the ordeal to be cancelled altogether. That Virus is still raging, and with the absence of massive crowds of spectators, not to mentions athletes falling ill, this grand sporting event just won’t be the same this year.

Mega Millions had a knack for reading the room Tuesday night. A {2-2-1-1} Pattern three-peat wasn’t featured. Instead, Mega Millions took the time to reflect on a different Pattern. This lottery not only boosted its inner well-being, but its jackpot. The prize grew to $138 million.

July 20, 2021 saw the Australia Play make its 21st appearance with winning numbers 10, 26, 30, 52, 57 and MB 10.
