April Lottery Showers Bring…

April lottery showers bring May lottery flowers? No, that can’t be right. April showers (should) bring May flowers, but what’s lottery got to do with any of this? Well, dear readers, lotteries constantly shower us with numbers. Said numbers fall in a Pattern, which can then be broken down further into General Orders (Mega Millions and Powerball only) and Specific Orders. The results can be surprising!

Lotto Texas played a not-so-common Pattern earlier this week, Wednesday to be precise. In fact, Lotto Texas liked this Pattern so much that it stuck around for Saturday night. The jackpot grew to $8 million.

Meanwhile, Powerball flirted with the idea of a playback. Although one didn’t materialize, the jackpot grew just the same. After the showers stopped, $231 million was what remained.

What will April’s lottery showers bring in the week ahead? Is Lotto Texas’s {4-2} Pattern going to play for the third time in a row, and will a playback happen in Powerball?

Pranks? From Mega Millions? Never!

Love it or hate it, April Fools’ Day isn’t going away anytime soon. April 1st is when even the most serious person can release his or her inner prankster without shame. Of course, if one isn’t careful, the prankster can become the pranked! It’s good to remember, though, that these pranks should be in good fun. After all, we could all use a good laugh these days. Would you believe that as much as lotteries like to troll, they’re not prankster types?

Mega Millions certainly wasn’t about pranks Friday night. A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat was serious business, even more when it pushed the jackpot up to $81 million!

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat of April 1, 2022 was thanks to 26, 42, 47, 48, 63 and MB 21. This Pattern has now played 325 times.

This Pattern has now played in 42.6% of the 763 Mega Millions drawings and was last seen March 29, 2022.

The [1-1-2-1-1] General Order, now with 99 appearances, has played in 30.5% of the 325 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 763 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 13% of the time. The [1-1-2-1-1] General Order was last seen January 18, 2022.

Now with 18 appearances, the 0 1 1 2 1 1 Specific Order has played in 18.2% of the 99 drawings where the General Order was [1-1-2-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 5.54% of the 325 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 2.34% of all 763 drawings. Prior to Friday night, the 0 1 1 2 1 1 Specific Order played October 16, 2020.

Three-Number Combinations

Mega Millions was so focused on the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat that no repeating Three-Number Combinations played.

Is a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak on-tap, or will Mega Millions make way for another Pattern Tuesday?

Lotto Texas and Powerball March Into April

March 30, 2022 fell on a Wednesday, which meant the last drawings of the month for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. One thing for certain was that neither lottery ended the month quietly! A playback here, a similar spread there, among other things, not only gave these lotteries a power boost, but their jackpots received a boost as well! Lotto Texas gracefully rose to $7.75 million, and Powerball’s jackpot strolled upward and onward to $222 million.

General Lottery Analysis

With winning numbers 2, 4, 23, 30, 31 and 36, the {4-2} Pattern made its 213th appearance.

This Pattern has now played in 10.7% of the 1987 Lotto Texas drawings.

Now with 37 appearances, the 2 4 0 Specific Order has played in 17.4% of the 213 drawings where {4-2} was the winning Pattern. Once all 1987 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 1.86% of the time.

Both the {4-2} Pattern and the  2 4 0 Specific Order were last seen March 14, 2022.

Similar Spread

As if an uncommon Pattern making a mid-week appearance wasn’t enough, how about a similar spread to spice things up even more? Wednesday night’s numbers had a spread of 02:19:07:01:05. Similarly, the October 23, 2013 drawing had a spread of 01:05:19:02:07, thanks to 12, 13, 18, 37, 39 and 46. Looking closely, we can see that even though the differences between numbers both nights were the same, their orders (and the numbers played) were different.

Four-Number Combinations

Lotto Texas was brimming with so much energy that there was enough to spare for a couple of repeating Four-Number Combinations!

Will this momentum for both Lotto Texas and Powerball carry over to Saturday night?

Mega Millions in “Stand by Your Pattern”

“March comes roaring in like a lion and out like a lamb,” or so the saying goes. If the weather at the beginning of the month is rough, then the weather at the end of the month should be calmer. Of course, you most likely remember at least one occasion when that wasn’t true! Lotteries, like Mother Nature, pay such sayings no mind.

For Mega Millions, Tuesday night meant the return of the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern, though it wasn’t exactly like last time. There wasn’t a playback, but this lottery stirred the pot a different way. This pot-stirring helped push the jackpot to $70 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Common Approach

Although Friday night leads into the weekend, Saturday night is the main event. Whether out and about or staying home, many people make it their mission to get as much enjoyment as possible. After all, Sunday is for sleeping in and preparing for the week ahead, right? Free from the responsibilities of work and school, both Lotto Texas and Powerball use Saturday nights to be as relaxed or as wild as they please.

March 26, 2022 meant Lotto Texas and Powerball being in sync. Sort of. Both lotteries saw callbacks to earlier in the week, and with that came rising jackpots. The jackpot in Lotto Texas grew to $7.25 million, and Powerball’s jumped to $195 million.

As we enter the last week of March, will Lotto Texas and Powerball continue to stick with the {3-2-1} and {2-2-1-1} Patterns?

Mega Millions and the Springtime Chill

As March starts to make way for April, the weather patterns will continue to shift. One day, it’s warm and sunny, and the next is stormy, sometimes violently so. This is true of lotteries, regardless of the time of year.

Until the night of March 25, 2022, Mega Millions showed little restraint. Not even a jackpot reset earlier in the month could stop Pattern encores and the glorious madness of repeating Three-Number Combinations! Yet, as we entered the first full weekend of spring, Mega Millions opted to stop and feel the springtime breeze. This relaxed approach boosted the jackpot to $60 million.

Three-Number Combinations

Repeating Three-Number Combinations were absent Friday night.

Will Mega Millions’ relaxed approach return for Tuesday night?

The Patterns Less Played…

What is it they say about the Patterns less played? They don’t play often, obviously, but how does that impact lottery players? Well, in that regard, they’re just like their brethren who show up more often. At least one person is going to walk away much wealthier after a lottery drawing, or there will be much (subdued) anger and disappointment. Yet, that anger and disappointment subside. When no one wins the grand prize, that means another chance, and another chance means even more money to win. After all, how boring would the lottery be if there wasn’t a shakeup now and then?

Lotto Texas and Powerball certainly shook things up Wednesday night! What could have been a night of Pattern repeats, and they certainly had the Patterns that lend themselves to that sort of thing, went in a different direction. By providing exposure to Patterns that don’t play often, they pushed the jackpots upward once again! Lotto Texas ascended gracefully to $7 million, and Powerball barged in with $180 million.

Lotto Texas

Mega Millions Gets Its Spring On

Mega Millions…was not the first lottery of Spring 2022. That dual honor went to Lotto Texas and Powerball. Nevertheless, this lottery welcomed the new season with open arms. To commemorate its foray into spring, Mega Millions set the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern aside. That didn’t stop the jackpot from rising to $50 million!
