Mega Millions and the February Climb

Mega Millions’ January run had a fitting end. After watching the jackpot grow for several months, it was brought down to size this past Friday night. It stands to reason that starting February with a slow, steady climb in the jackpot totals is also fitting. On that cold February night, the jackpot began its climb upward and rested at $22 million.

Shades of Christmas…in January

The days are getting longer, it’s the dead of winter, and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Wait, what?! Christmas was last month! True, but it’s colder than it was last month, and there’s always that one person who leaves up Christmas decorations year-round. Let’s not forget that the lottery world doesn’t adhere to our sense of time. Holidays, or shades of them, can strike at any time.

Lotto Texas saw shades of Christmas January 26, 2022, and saw its jackpot rise to $7.75 million. Powerball didn’t see any shades of Christmas (that was last week), but that had no effect on the jackpot. After the dust settled, the Powerball jackpot rose to $104 million.

Dance the Upward Dance

One word best describes the Mega Millions jackpot so far in 2022: unwavering. Since October, all efforts to bring it down have only made it grow even more.

Well, no. The Mega Millions jackpot remained standing January 25, 2022. Once again, the jackpot had another growth spurt, stopping at $421 million.

Out With the Australia Plays, In With the…

A love for the Australia Play took hold in the lottery world these past few drawings! Lotto Texas went back and forth, and Powerball’s love for the Australia Play was expressed with an encore this past Monday.  

The night of January 19, 2022 was another matter. Although both Lotto Texas and Powerball set the Australia Play aside, they continued to operate on the same wavelength. That is, they went for a more common Pattern. This approach helped the jackpots rise to $7 million and $76 million, respectively.

It may be cold outside, but Lotto Texas and Powerball continue to heat up. Seeing as both lotteries went for their most common Patterns, it remains to be seen if either one or both Patterns will return Saturday night. And, should those Pattern encores come to pass, will the jackpots go up, or will they go down?
