Combination Celebration

Both Lotto Texas and Powerball took “Dancing in September” to heart Saturday night. Instead of double-dipping with Wednesday night’s Patterns, these lotteries switched things up and wowed the crowds with Combination repeats and rising jackpots. Lotto Texas shimmied onward to $17.5 million, and Powerball shuffled to $193 million.

The Friday Night Slide

Short or long, boring or eventful, many of us breathe a sigh of relief once Friday rolls around. In our ever-increasingly connected go-go-go society, the need for an escape hatch is important. Enjoying a night out with friends, or even by yourself, is a popular choice to jump start the weekend. Others, like Mega Millions, opt to relax. Everyone “knows” that Saturday is the real party day!

With regards to Mega Millions, Friday night’s outcome was vastly different from what was observed earlier in the week. There was no {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore, and the idea of a playback was rendered absurd. One thing that did stay the same was a boost in the jackpot. The prize climbed to $231 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Mega Millions opted for the {2-2-1-1} Pattern. The winning numbers for September 9, 2022 were 16, 21, 54, 55, 69 and MB 22. This Pattern has now played 223 times.

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Labor Day Fireworks

When you hear “Labor Day”, you’re probably thinking long weekend or barbecues. Fireworks are more of a Fourth of July kind of thing. Even if the fireworks are being saved for another time, that doesn’t mean Lotto Texas and Powerball can’t put on a show of their own.

The lotteries took advantage of Labor Day being summer’s last hoorah. Saturday night was awash in repeating Combination explosions and at least one playback. As the dust settled, we were left with a jackpot that grew to $16 million in Lotto Texas and $119 million in Powerball.

Mega Millions Laboring in Holiday Mode

So, it has come at last. With the arrival of Labor Day weekend, summer is (un)officially over. No need to belabor the situation. Get in that visit to the beach or dip in the pool before it gets too cold to do so. If neither the beach nor the pool are your thing, try taking a shot at Mega Millions! Be warned, though, that lotteries are also prone to relaxing in their own way.

Mega Millions kicked off the Labor Day weekend by avoiding a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat. There wasn’t a whiff of a playback, either. Still, there was enough to push the jackpot to $191 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The September 2, 2022 drawing featured the 222nd appearance of the {2-2-1-1} Pattern with winning numbers 39, 40, 52, 60, 67 and MB 20.

Is a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore in store for Tuesday night, or will Mega Millions feature another Pattern?

From a Gush to a Trickle

Mega Millions was an energetic one last week. From playing an uncommonly seen Pattern to blasting us with repeating Three-Number Combinations, this lottery went here, there, and everywhere! Even when things were taken down a notch Friday night, there was much energy buzzing in the air. August 23, 2022 was another story.

The scale-back that began a few nights ago came to a head Tuesday night. Yet, the jackpot held strong. In fact, it climbed to $135 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-2-1-1} Pattern made its 221st appearance with 3, 5, 47, 48, 67 and MB 7.

This Pattern has now played in 27.5% of the 804 drawings.

The [2-2-1-1] General Order, now with 74 appearances, has played in 33.5% of the 221 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 804 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 9.20% of the time.

Both the {2-2-1-1} Pattern and the [2-2-1-1] General Order were last seen August 12, 2022.

Now with three appearances, the 2 0 0 2 1 1 Specific Order has played in 4.05% of the 74 drawings where the General Order was [2-2-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 1.36% of the 221 drawings where {2-2-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.37% of all 804 drawings. Prior to Tuesday night, the 2 0 0 2 1 1 Specific Order played August 28, 2020.

Three-Number Combinations

Just as a playback wasn’t meant to be, neither was an appearance by a repeating Three-Number Combination.

Is Friday night going to be another round of mellowness, or will Mega Millions ratch it up to kick off the weekend?

Getting Another Go-Around

Patterns often play once, then go away for a bit before showing up again. Thus is the way of lotteries. Of course, there are times when a Pattern decides to stick around for a bit. Sometimes, it’s just for one more round, and other times it’s several. If you’ve been a long-time reader of our blog, you know, too, that some Patterns are more prone to this than others. What happens, then, on the nights when there are two lotteries and both of their Patterns come back for an encore?

Lotto Texas and Powerball thought it safer to stick with Pattern encores Wednesday night. Playing conservative paid off, with both jackpots climbing to $11.75 million and $80 million, respectively.

Lotto Texas

Remember those back-to-school specials you watched on TV during your childhood? Well, the Lottery World aired its own back-to-school special called “Powerball: The Four-Number Combination Repeat and the Four Fallouts.” Wonder when we’ll get another special like that? Anyway, this is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe and Happy First Day of School to all you students everywhere!

Mega Millions’ Choice: Go Out or Leftovers?

It’s Friday night. You’ve completed another work week, and the kids survived their first week back in school. How to celebrate? Going out to dinner and/or a movie is a thing again, and then y’all can swing by Dave and Buster’s for a while. What? You’re not going out? You’re going to stay home, go on a binge-a-thon (those episodes of The Boys won’t watch themselves!), and eat leftovers? Well, all right then. You do you.

At least Mega Millions has something going on. After all, people go nuts with ticket purchases, hoping to win the kind of money that makes a job an option instead of a necessity. Even if no one wins, there’s a Pattern encore or an Australia Play, or even an explosion of repeating Three-Number Combinations. Except when there aren’t any.

Mega Millions was more of a homebody than the life of the party Friday night. Instead of a Pattern encore, this lottery reached for the week-old leftovers and warmed them in the oven.

The jackpot rose all the same to $82 million, Mega Millions thought, and that was plenty enough excitement.

168 Hours and 180 Degrees Later

One week ago, the mega-sized Mega Millions jackpot was brought down. As the public went about their business, the jackpot started the recuperation process. On August 5, 2022, the rebound continued. No hype was needed to fuel the jackpot’s rise to $52 million! As we’ll see, the lack of hype and a smaller jackpot weren’t the only things that made this past Friday different than the one before.
