Greetings, Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here. Last night on March 20, 2023, as the first day of Spring commenced, yet another surprise visitor from the Land Down Under came to the Powerball District of the Lottery World.

The past is a tricky thing. We can learn from it, use it to prepare ourselves for the future. On the other hand, hanging onto the past can blind us to what is, keeping us in statis and pining for things that may have never been. Mega Millions, impervious to nostalgia, can draw from the past artfully. Through embracing past plays, this lottery can either boost the jackpot or see a reset with no emotional strings attached. Tuesday night was an example of the former.
Mega Millions’ trip started with a visit to the relatively recent past, and then kicked into overdrive. The jackpot grew to $203 million as a result.
General Lottery Analysis
March 7, 2023 featured the 20th appearance of the {4-1-1} Pattern with winning numbers 15, 22, 25, 28, 69 and MB 21.
The [4-1-1] General Order, now with 12 appearances, has played in 60% of the 20 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 860 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 1.40% of the time.
Both the {4-1-1} Pattern and the [4-1-1] General Order were last seen December 6, 2022.
Now with two appearances, the 040011 Specific Order has played in 16.7% of the 12 drawings where the General Order was [4-1-1]. This Specific Order has also played in 10% of the 20 drawings where {4-1-1} was the winning Pattern and in 0.23% of all 860 drawings. The 040011 Specific Order made its first appearance in the December 13, 2013 drawing.
Three-Number Combinations
There were two repeating Three-Number Combinations:
22, 25, 69 (Debuted February 3, 2015)
25, 28, 69 (Debuted April 1, 2016)
How far into the past will Mega Millions reach, and will that journey to the past boost the jackpot or force it to reset?
Spring, at least according to the calendar, is right around the corner. Spring is the season of new beginnings. How fitting then, that Lotto Texas and Powerball are the ones to welcome March and invite people far and wide to try their hand at starting a new life. Once you become a multimillionaire, there’s no going back! Not really. Yet, often, neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball are willing to play along. Wednesday night was one of those nights.
In fact, both lotteries balked at the idea of resetting their jackpots. Lotto Texas has shown remarkable endurance over the past several months and boosted the jackpot to $50.25 million. Powerball, no stranger to large prizes, grew the jackpot to $161 million.

Three-Number Combinations
A couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations were present:
Normally, Lotto Texas and Powerball hang out in different crowds. The former lottery tends to be more gracious whenever the jackpot rises. Meanwhile, the latter often goes all out, and isn’t afraid to flirt with the prospect of billion-dollar prizes, or close to that amount. Regardless of methods, it hasn’t escaped our notice that both Lotto Texas and Powerball do have one thing in common lately: the worth of their jackpots!
February 11, 2023 meant another night of growth for Lotto Texas. The return of a Pattern from earlier in the week boosted the jackpot to $41.75 million. Meanwhile, an Australia Play made the jump to $45 million possible for Powerball.

On Monday night, Powerball was hit with the mighty force of a reset. By way of a {4-1-1} Pattern, the jackpot grew to $34 million Wednesday night. Funny enough, Lotto Texas also saw the {4-1-1} Pattern! That Pattern was how Lotto Texas wound up with a jackpot currently larger than Powerball’s: $41 million. Even though the {4-1-1} Pattern was present in both lotteries, how it played couldn’t be any more different!

Four-Number Combination
A new Specific Order and a similar spread was just a warm-up! Repeating Four-Number Combination 58, 59, 66, and PB 9 debuted in the February 1, 2023 drawing. That was just one week ago!
Three-Number Combinations
Naturally, the repeating Four-Number Combination had four repeating Three-Number Combinations buried inside:
58, 59, 66 (Debuted February 1, 2023)
58, 59, PB 9 (Debuted July 18, 2020 and previously played February 1, 2023)

59, 66, PB 9 (Debuted May 3, 2017 and previously played February 1, 2023)
Lotto Texas and Powerball may be different lotteries, but they aren’t above operating on the same wavelength. Is Saturday night going to be another “two great minds think alike” scenario, or will they take different paths?
The {4-1-1} Pattern made its 229th appearance, courtesy of winning numbers 4, 7, 8, 11, 34, and 54.

It seems that Powerball is trying to work its way back to the billion-dollar mark. But how long will it keep up? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!
A new year means new beginnings, right? Well, yes and no. “Yes” from the angle of starting a new hobby or kicking a bad habit, but those are easier said than done. Old habits are hard to break, and procrastinating is ever so tempting! For Lotto Texas and Powerball, 2023 has meant one thing so far: Let those jackpots rise.
Leaving off from last year, these lotteries’ jackpots continued to gain momentum Monday night. The night of January 4, 2023 told a similar story. No one could stop the Lotto Texas jackpot from rising to $28.75 million and Powerball’s rising to $325 million.

Happy New Year, everyone! May 2023 be a good year for all of us.
New Year’s Eve is the biggest party day of the year, and why not? You’ve made it to the end of another year, the days are getting longer, and even the most cynical of us have hopes of a better future. In a world that seems to be spiraling quickly into madness, money still holds power.
The more money you have, the more you can ensure that you and yours have a more comfortable future. Lotto Texas and Powerball can help. Of course, the keyword here is can. These lotteries often have their own plans, and they don’t involve having their jackpots being claimed.
Lotto Texas and Powerball hosted their own party New Year’s Eve 2022. As they dazzled the crowds with playbacks and repeating Combinations, they made out with larger jackpots. Lotto Texas held strong with $27.25 million, and Powerball ascended to $265 million.

Three-Number Combinations
What Powerball lacked in a playback, it more than made up for with four repeating Three-Number Combinations:
The temperatures are plummeting, and the wind is howling. Truly, winter is here! For us Northern Hemisphere folks, anyway. As people whip on their heavy coats and brave the elements to do last-minute shopping, many will certainly stop for hot cocoa or a bowl of soup piping hot. Others, too, will make a stop at their nearest lottery dispensary, buying tickets and hoping for a hefty Christmas gift. The catch is whether the lottery, or lotteries, on Wednesday night, will be naughty or nice.
With four days until Christmas, Lotto Texas and Powerball took it upon themselves to get into more mischief. The rising jackpot streak continued thanks to a playback and an encore. The ever-graceful Lotto Texas boosted the jackpot to $24 million, and Powerball’s jackpot grew to $186 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball will have the honor of gracing the world with their presence Christmas Eve. Will at least one lottery be kind enough to share the wealth, or will they hold on a bit longer?
No two Mega Millions drawings are alike, and there was no better example than what happened December 6, 2022. After taking a sabbatical from repeating Three-Number Combinations Friday night, a bunch of them decided to hitch a ride with an uncommonly seen Pattern! It’s thanks to that Pattern that the jackpot ascended to $379 million.
