Drawing/Pattern Dynamics

Hello and greetings, Lotterytrend fans! This is guest blogger Romulun Harris, filling in for Freyja Harris, and giving you the latest updates in Lotto Texas and Powerball.

As we enter yet another Hurricane Season as well, find Lotto Texas and Powerball engaging in their own internal dynamics. Last night on June 12, 2021, the Lottery world experienced hot jackpot temperatures when Texas Lotto increased to $5.5 million and Powerball increased to $40 million. There was also an Australia Play.

LOTTO TEXAS

Analysis

Courtesy of the winning numbers 5, 14, 27, 36, 49, and 50, the {2-2-2} Pattern made its 258th appearance.

The Pattern has now occurred in 13.78% of all 1872 Lotto Texas drawings and last played on May 15, 2021.

The 2 2 2 Specific Order coincided with the {2-2-2} Pattern, also in its 258th appearance and sharing the same date. As a reminder, this is called the Australia Play, because just as Australia is a country and continent, in and of itself, the {2-2-2} Pattern is a specific order and a Pattern in and of itself.

Four-Number Combinations

There were no Four-Number Combination repeats.

POWERBALL

Analysis

Mega Millions and the Summer Climb

When a lottery jackpot resets, one phrase comes to mind: “There’s nowhere else to go but up!” Earlier in the week, Mega Millions was forced to reset after a visit from the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern. Rather than sulk and lie about on Friday night, this lottery dusted itself off and bumped the jackpot up to $22 million.

General Lottery Analysis

On June 11, 2021, the {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 186th appearance with 4, 43, 56, 63, 68 and MB 13.

This Pattern has now played in 27.4% of the 679 Mega Millions drawings and was last seen June 1, 2021.

The [1-2-2-1] General Order, now with 67 appearances, has played in 36% of the 186 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 679 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 9.87% of the time. We last saw the [1-2-2-1] General Order April 30, 2021.

Now with nine appearances, the 1 0 0 2 2 1 Specific Order has played in 13.4% of the 67 drawings where the General Order was [1-2-2-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 4.84% of the 186 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 1.33% of all 679 drawings. Prior to Friday night, the 1 0 0 2 2 1 Specific Order played August 7, 2020.

Three-Number Combinations

On the climb up, there were a couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations:

Will the jackpot continue to climb Tuesday night, or will it get nudged back down again?

Bound by the {3-2-1} Pattern

The power of the {3-2-1} Pattern was felt far and wide Wednesday night! On June 9, 2021, this Pattern returned for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Would you believe that this triggered a three-peat in Powerball? Meanwhile, the bump in Lotto Texas’s jackpot to $5.25 million was thanks to that Pattern encore.

A note before we continue: As of this writing, there’s been a delay in processing the results of Powerball’s drawing. Because of this, no one knows yet what the jackpot for Saturday’s drawing will be worth.

EDIT: As of 6/12/2021, the Powerball jackpot is $31 million.

This Specific Order has also played in 5% of the 40 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.34% of all 593 drawings. The 0 2 0 3 0 1 Specific Order first appeared in the January 23, 2019 drawing. How often is it when you see past instances of the General and Specific Orders play exactly two years apart?

The {3-2-1} Pattern sunk into Lotto Texas and Powerball and didn’t let go! Will it sink its teeth even further Saturday night, or will it let go of at least one lottery?

And Mega Millions Makes Three

Something called “The Jackpot Smackdown” made its rounds in the lottery world. Lotto Texas and Powerball were affected this past Saturday night, and they played the same Pattern, no less! On June 8, 2021, it was Mega Millions’ turn. A lone player from The Land of Lincoln struck the winning blow. Naturally, the jackpot reset itself to $20 million.

With winning numbers 9, 22, 39, 41, 54 and MB 19, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern made its 294th drawing.

Three-Number Combinations

Mega Millions employed the “four repeating Three-Number Combinations without a repeating Four-Number Combination” trick again but that didn’t stop the jackpot from being claimed!

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern come back Friday night and help prop up the jackpot?

The Supercharged {3-2-1} Pattern

The {3-2-1} Pattern is a powerful one. Being a Pattern that can be found in Lotto Texas, Powerball, and Mega Millions, it means different things for different lotteries. For example, it’s a favorite in Lotto Texas, so much so that Pattern streaks aren’t unheard of. Although not as common in either Powerball or Mega Millions, its presence is surely felt there!

June 5, 2021 was a night that truly showed the might of the {3-2-1} Pattern. Not only did this Pattern appear in both Lotto Texas and Powerball, but it also kept the Lotto Texas jackpot at $5 million. Powerball didn’t go unscathed, either. Once the {3-2-1} Pattern was done, the jackpot there reset to $20 million. As we’ll see later, the {3-2-1} Pattern really had a heyday with Powerball.

Four-Number Combinations

Lotto Texas got blindsided and didn’t have time for repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Powerball

General Lottery Analysis

Powerball’s {3-2-1} Pattern was special, indeed. With winning numbers 44, 52, 54, 64, 69 and PB 26, not only did this Pattern play for the 39th time, but it was also an encore!

There have now been 592 Powerball drawings, and this Pattern has played 6.59% of the time.

The [3-2-1] General Order also got bit by the encore bug! Now with 21 appearances, this General Order has played in 53.8% of the 39 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 592 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 3.55% of the time.

Both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the [3-2-1] General Order were last seen June 2, 2021.

This Specific Order has also played in 5.13% of the 39 drawings where {3-2-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.34% of all 592 drawings. The 0 0 0 3 2 1 Specific Order made its first appearance in the March 10, 2018 drawing.

Three-Number Combinations  

The {3-2-1} Pattern was surrounded by repeating Three-Number Combinations. Five of them to be exact!

Will the {3-2-1} Pattern continue to hold a grip on both Lotto Texas and Powerball in the week ahead?

Mega Millions on a Diet

Right after a holiday, it’s not uncommon to feel a little shame after pigging out. You may even find that you can’t fit into your favorite pair of paints or that cute outfit you finally got around to wearing. Sure, you can buy larger sizes, but the remedy is to be more active and go on a diet.

Mega Millions doesn’t need to worry about clothes, true, but it too can overindulge. Perhaps that’s why it scaled back on the repeating Three-Number Combinations Friday night. While the number of repeating Three-Number Combinations shrank, the jackpot grew to $56 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The June 4, 2021 drawing saw the 129th appearance of the {3-1-1-1} Pattern with winning numbers 4, 30, 34, 41, 64 and MB 8.

Prior to Friday night, both the [1-3-1-1] General Order and the 1 0 3 0 1 1 Specific Order played February 2, 2021.

Will the scale-back on repeating Three-Number Combinations continue next week, or will a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore be in play?

A Lottery’s Sense of Normalcy

Given that we’re dealing with lotteries here, the term “normalcy” is loaded. What’s “normal” for a lottery is far different than what we mere humans consider such. Oh, we crave excitement, but our actions show that we desire stability and predictability. Many of us wouldn’t be able to cope if our lives had the peaks and valleys most commonly seen in lotteries. There’s no set time for how long a jackpot grows; it can be over a period of several months, or it can be claimed just a single drawing after the reset.

The “normalcy” that returned on June 2, 2021 was Lotto Texas getting knocked back down to $5 million. A Plano player saw an opportunity and went for it. Meanwhile, Powerball’s jackpot was unashamedly high. With no one able to knock it off its high horse, the jackpot there grew to $286 million.

Lotto Texas

The {4-2} Pattern isn’t a common one in Lotto Texas, but it continued to maintain its presence! With winning numbers 22, 33, 44, 45, 47 and 54, this Pattern made its 201st appearance.

Once all 1869 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 1.82% of the time. Prior to Wednesday night, the 0 2 4 Specific Order played December 9, 2020.

Four-Number Combinations

Lotto Texas was too busy being blindsided that there wasn’t time to play repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Will Powerball have a date with a jackpot winner Saturday night, or will the jackpot rise continue for at least another drawing?

Mega Millions and the Combination Avalanche

Another Memorial Day and another May have come and gone. Mega Millions took the opportunity to start June off with a bang, and that it did! Instead of a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat, this lottery had other plans. Recently, Mega Millions adapted a “trick” that allows for four repeating Three-Number Combinations without the use of a repeating Four-Number Combination! This “trick” was employed in the June 1, 2021 drawing as a side effect of the three-peat blocking Pattern. That Pattern also bumped the jackpot to $45 million.

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 185th appearance with 7, 11, 33, 58, 63 and MB 23.

Preparing for June: Lotto Texas and Powerball Style

Holiday weekends are great for hanging out with friends and family, catching up on sleep (and streaming), and trying out new things. That extra time off is also a potentially overlooked opportunity to prepare for the future. Lotto Texas and Powerball concentrated on the latter May 29, 2021. June is only a few days away, and the lotteries believed it was better to head into the new month with profound momentum, all thanks to the power of rising jackpots. Lotto Texas welcomed a boost to $18.75 million with open arms, and Powerball jumped to $268 million.

Mega Millions’ Memoria Day (Weekend) Combination Special

Memorial Day is the traditional start of summer, even if the schools haven’t closed just yet*. For us at Lottery Trend headquarters, this holiday weekend marks a milestone. It was five years ago that Lottery Binge went online. Five years of providing the latest lottery analysis for Lotto Texas, Powerball, and Mega Millions, and no intention of slowing down!

*For readers not familiar with the U.S. school system, the country doesn’t have a national curriculum. The states determine the start and end dates of the school year, as well as what gets taught. Some schools close at the beginning of May (and the kids go back in late July/early August) while others let out at the end of June (and start after Labor Day). In our neck of the woods, the schools let out right before Memorial Day.

How fitting that Mega Millions kicked off Memorial Day weekend! The May 28, 2021 drawing saw a bombardment of repeating Three-Number Combinations. This pushed the jackpot upward to $34 million. Both of these were made possible by the return of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore was made possible by 10, 14, 20, 47, 70 and MB 15. This Pattern has now played 293 times.
