The Midweek Double Lottery Hop

Many of us breathe a little easier on Wednesday nights. The work week (and school week) is 60% over, and there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. In other parts of the world, Wednesday is like Friday for us.

Lotto Texas and Powerball had reason to celebrate March 9, 2022. As they jumped into Wednesday night, they each came out the other side with an Australia Play! Additionally, the jackpots received an extra kick. Lotto Texas’s jackpot grew to a respectable $5.5 million, and Powerball’s climbed to $112 million.

Is an Australia Play encore on tap for either Lotto Texas or Powerball Saturday night?

Of Resets and Risings

“Rise-reset-rise” can be thought of as a lottery’s circle of life. Jackpots rise, reset, and rise again, with the length of time between the initial rise and the inevitable reset varying. This cycle has existed for as long as there have been lotteries and will continue until they are no more.

The cycle was on display March 5, 2022. After a few of weeks of seeing a slow and steady jackpot increase, Lotto Texas was forced to reset, starting over at $5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball escaped the call to reset for now; its jackpot continued onward to $90 million.

As Lotto Texas works to increase its jackpot, is a jackpot reset in store for Powerball in the coming week?

Lotto Texas and Powerball Do a Flip

Lotto Texas and Powerball couldn’t be any more different! Why, just a few posts ago, we talked about Lotto Texas’s grace and poise and how audacity was Powerball’s raison d’etre. What we forgot to mention was that their personalities flip once in a while.

Most recently, that personality swap took place on February 9, 2022. Lotto Texas was the one who decided to throw grace to the wind for a change and use the power of a repeating Five-Number Combination to boost its jackpot to a respectable $9.25 million. Powerball borrowed the grace Lotto Texas casted aside and quietly used an Australia Play encore to grow the jackpot to $172 million.

Mega Millions: All Hopped Up

February means, “Spring is just around the corner. You just have to go through more winter first!” The cold keeps coming, and the hot drink consumption keeps climbing. One way to keep warm is to get your body moving. Running is one way, dancing is another, but there’s one you probably don’t think about much. If you do, then you probably have young kids, or you’re thinking about rabbits or kangaroos.

Yes, we’re talking about hopping, and Mega Millions did just that Friday night! Instead of going with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore, this lottery hitched its star to an Australia Play. This had the intended effect of pushing the jackpot to $31 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The February 4, 2022 Australia Play was made possible by 7, 16, 34, 44, 61 and MB 24. The {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order, and 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order have now played 23 times.
