For All Lotterykind

July 20, 1969 was the day humanity first set foot on the Moon. On that same day 53 years later, many set foot in their nearest convenience store and purchased Lotto Texas and Powerball tickets, hoping to reach the stars. Instead, their feet stayed firmly planted on the ground, as these lotteries took to breaking out Pattern encores. Lotto Texas’s jackpot jumped to $7.75 million, and Powerball’s, fueled by a Pattern streak, soared to $119 million.

Summer Spread & Summer Streak

Whether the summers really are getting longer and hotter or it’s just you, air conditioning is a blessing. All you need to do is turn down the thermostat, plop on the couch, and let the cool air blow. That is, unless the air conditioner breaks down and you’re dripping in sweat. You may then be tempted to take off some or even all your clothes and walk around just to feel a breeze. Thankfully, lotteries don’t engage in that kind of streak. Interestingly, things get hotter in the lottery world whenever there’s a streak. A Pattern streak, that is!

July 16, 2022 was the night that Powerball’s {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern got into streak mode. Entering “streak mode” unleashed a bombardment of repeating Three-Number Combinations and helped push the jackpot to a robust $89 million. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas took to a different approach. Ever the classy one, this lottery switched out Patterns, which pushed the jackpot to $7.25 million.

Lotto Texas

Similar Spread

Mega Millions and the Pattern Reprisal

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, no Independence Day celebration is complete without fireworks! Even the stodgiest person can be mesmerized by whizzes, whirls, and colorful explosions, be it from the fireworks show hosted by the city proper, or the impromptu one hosted on the neighborhood block. Those who “host” the fireworks show on the block probably had a few holidays where not all the fireworks get used. Sure, they can be saved for the next Fourth of July, or even New Year’s, but why wait? Mega Millions didn’t.

For one, Mega Millions was firing off fireworks as early as July 1st. That festive mood carried over into Tuesday night and pairing that with some leftover fireworks meant another show! The jackpot soared overhead and reached a height of $400 million.
