What’s with Powerball?

Greetings, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here! Last night on September 18, 2023, it looked like Powerball was the most “powerful” game of the Lottery World since its jackpot had still been increasing for almost two months and was now up to $672 million and closing in on the $700 million mark. Let’s also not forget about its biggest record breaking $2 billion that was won in the middle of last Autumn. And now, the details.

The Commitment to Jackpot Growth

There was talk in the lottery world Wednesday night. Word on the street was that a lottery that grew to just over $1 billion is now halfway there. Now mind, that lottery’s reset was less than two months ago, and already, the jackpot is $500 million. Truly, Powerball was committed to not having the jackpot reset, and that commitment paid off!

Meanwhile, Lotto Texas was also committed to jackpot growth. The jackpot had a way to go before reaching $1 billion, let alone $100 million. However, that didn’t stop the jackpot from reaching $5.75 million.

A Different Kind of Shower

August is known for being hot, almost ridiculously so, and the month when many students return to school. This month is also known for another phenomenon: meteor showers. If you look at the right part of the sky, on the right night at the right time, you can see them streak across the sky. Given that so many of us contend with light pollution, we’ll have to deal with another type of shower, the shower of repeating Combinations. Saturday night was prime viewing!

The night of August 26, 2023 was a night for both repeating Combinations and rising jackpots. Lotto Texas grew graciously to $ 6 million. Powerball, powered by a near playback, grew to $363 million.

The 4-1-1 on the Jackpot Won

As Queen once sang, “Another one gone, another one gone. Another one bites the dust!”

Powerball’s behemoth of a jackpot was sustained for several months with assists from a variety of plays, watered with the tears of frustration and anger from millions who sought to improve their financial situations. Another billion-dollar jackpot run came to an end July 19, 2023, forcing Powerball to reset to $20 million.

The night of July 19th was also beneficial to Lotto Texas’s jackpot. As everyone else went to surround the fallen prize next door, this lottery’s jackpot rose quietly to $9.25 million.

Greetings Lotterytrend, fans! Romulun Harris here! Last night on July 17, 2023, Powerball’s Jackpot once again reached the $1 billion mark—and over 8 months after its jackpot record of almost $2 billion had been won!

Like many times before when it comes to these huge jackpots, how much higher will it go before someone wins it? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe, and stay cool!

Can’t Ignore This

Some things are too big to ignore. Try as we might, there are things that remind us, sometimes bitterly so, of how unbelievably short time away from work feels, or how the biosphere is seriously out of whack (people wouldn’t double down on denial otherwise). In a time when people are cash-strapped and looking to free themselves from wage slavery, it would serve them well to pay attention to the goings-on in the lottery world.

Going into the July 15, 2023 Powerball drawing, Powerball, along with Mega Millions, had a jackpot getting close to $1 billion. After the drawing, that still held true. The Powerball jackpot rose to a heart-pounding $900 million!

Lest we forget about Lotto Texas, this lottery quietly boosted its jackpot to $8 million.

At the Edge of One Billion

Summer is in full swing. The temperatures are rising still (as if it couldn’t get any hotter), and ironically, Back-to-School ads are beginning to pop up like mushrooms. To escape the stress and ennui of modern living, many turn to lotteries. Sure, more money can mean more problems, but the allure of becoming a multimillionaire overnight is too enticing to ignore! Even more difficult to ignore is when there is at least one jackpot on the verge of entering the billion-dollar range. To say that things are heating up in the lottery world as well is an understatement!

July 12, 2023 meant another night of Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots avoiding capture, so to speak. Lotto Texas, ever graceful, boosted the jackpot to $7.75 million. Powerball, by process of elimination, was the one harboring that beastly jackpot. There, the prize grew to $875 million.

The Mid-Week Summer Spread-out

Don’t you just hate it when a holiday falls during the middle of the week? You’re off that Tuesday, Wednesday, or even Thursday, but then you return to the office the next day. Some have the option of using PTO days, while others are out of luck. PTO or no, Lotto Texas and/or Powerball come to the rescue, right? Except on nights like this past Wednesday’s, when these lotteries have other plans.

July 5, 2023 was a vacation of sorts for Lotto Texas and Powerball. Both lotteries toned it down a bit on the repeating Combinations, but one decided to spread out a bit more. Despite the lotteries’ divergent tracks, their respective jackpots grew to $7 million and $590 million.
