Mega Millions’ Great Combination Summoning

Mega Millions wanted to start Halloween weekend with something grand, and it was done without the assistance from a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore. This “bang” came in the form of a repeating Four-Number Combination. Now, these may not be as common here as they are in Lotto Texas, but they always leave a big impact! Before we can get to the repeating Four-Number Combination, there’s the matter of the October 29, 2021 drawing itself. As Mega Millions put aside its most common Pattern to explore other avenues, the jackpot climbed to $26 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The {3-1-1-1} Pattern blocked the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore from taking place. With winning numbers 15, 26, 28, 35, 45 and MB 4, this Pattern made its 138^th appearance.

The Lottery Mid-Week Double Encore Chiller

It’s that time of year again! All the pumpkin spice-themed food and accessories, not to mention actual pumpkins, candy sales, and decorations mean one thing: Halloween is upon us. Now, lotteries don’t go bump in the night or suck your blood, but they can and do have the power to scare. After all, the prospect of winning millions of dollars is both exciting and terrifying, isn’t it? Want to know what else is terrifying? When lotteries don’t let anyone take off with their jackpots, especially if you don’t know how they did it. How a lottery dashes dreams of overnight riches changes up; fun to keep the players on their toes, after all.

October 20, 2021 meant rising jackpots for both Lotto Texas and Powerball. Through the power of a double encore and an assist from repeating Three and Four-Number Combinations, their respective jackpots climbed to $7 million and $86 million.

Once all 1918 drawings have been taken into consideration, this Specific Order has played 7.82% of the time. Note that a playback in Lotto Texas means the Pattern and the Specific Order played together on a previous date. That previous date, of course, was October 18, 2021.

Four-Number Combinations

The madness of a playback wasn’t enough for Lotto Texas. Three repeating Four-Number Combinations also wanted in:

Passing Up on a Playback

There was good news and bad news concerning the October 19, 2021 Mega Millions drawing. First the bad. If you or anyone else you know is a fan of the playback (Pattern, General Order, and Specific Order all played together in a previous drawing), then Tuesday’s drawing was so close, yet so far. The good news is that the Mega Millions jackpot crossed the $100 million threshold. With the help of a “near playback”, the prize shot up to $108 million.

Will a playback be what helps push the jackpot even higher Friday night, or will Mega Millions have other plans?

Feelin’ Those September Highs

Another September has come and gone, and the transition of seasons continues. Although the calendar says it’s fall, it still feels like summer in some places! Rising jackpots were the rule this summer and the results from September 29, 2021 showed that rule continued to hold for Lotto Texas and Powerball. The Lotto Texas jackpot eased into $20.75 million, and Powerball’s jackpot soared to $620 million.

With September ending on a high note for both Lotto Texas and Powerball, will either hit a low Saturday night?

Pump Up the Jackpots

Saturday nights are peak weekend. Everything stays open later, much to the joy of those who like to hit the town. For those who aren’t the clubbing type, millions of titles can be accessed with the right apps. Saturday nights are also when Lotto Texas and Powerball come out. The allure of winning millions of dollars is strong. After all, many social butterflies and homebodies work for someone else, and would love to throw off the shackles of the rat race!

If you played either Lotto Texas and/or Powerball September 11, 2021, then you’ve got at least another day at the ole 9 to 5. These lotteries took to tossing in a playback and boosting their jackpots. Lotto Texas graciously ascended to $16.25 million, and Powerball shot up to $416 million.

Mega Millions Takes a Breather

Previously, on “Lottery Trend”:

Lotto Texas and Powerball extended their domain to Mondays, meaning three nights a week of their madness. August 23, 2021 was the first night featuring this change.
This shakeup made the addition of another blogger necessary. Romulun Harris will give you the rundown of these lotteries’ Monday night ventures.
Currently, Mega Millions still plays only on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Last week was a busy one for Mega Millions! Both drawings saw similar spreads, and how about that playback this past Friday? Exerting all that energy, not to mention all that happened earlier this week, Tuesday night was the perfect opportunity for this lottery to take a breather. The rest proved beneficial, for the jackpot grew to $288 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The August 24, 2021 Mega Millions drawing saw the 135^th appearance of the {3-1-1-1} Pattern, with winning numbers 17, 18, 26, 52, 67 and MB 19.

Will Mega Millions continue to take a break Friday night or be back on its feet?

That Good Old Fashioned Pattern Charm

The start of the holiday weekend may have been the start of something else in Mega Millions. It was on July 2^nd that the {3-1-1-1} Pattern was invited for drinks and fireworks. The holiday weekend has since ended, but the Pattern decided to stick around for much longer! Long enough, in fact, that a three-peat happened. With the {3-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat came a jackpot boost to $104 million.

The Mega Millions After-Holiday Pattern Encore

The Fourth of July may have come and gone, but that didn’t mean there weren’t any leftovers. Unused fireworks, ribs and wieners that weren’t eaten at the barbecue, those sorts of things, true. However, in this case, “leftovers” meant a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore. With that encore came a jackpot that grew to $94 million.
