Big Cool Down, Bigger Jackpots

Things feel more messed up these days. Some parts of the Northern Hemisphere feel more like late spring than winter or even early spring, for one. Throw in unnecessary belligerence, cold and flu (and COVID?) season, and the unshakeable feeling of being price gouged, it’s as if things are falling apart. As the human world embroils itself in contradictions, blame games, and measuring contests, the lottery world continues with a routine that has existed for many years. Wednesday night’s results were proof that big gains can be made without bluff and bluster.

February 22, 2023 was a night that showed both Lotto Texas and Powerball taking a calmer approach to jackpot gains. Putting aside the idea of Pattern streaks and dialing back on repeating Combinations pushed their respective jackpots to $47.25 million and $119 million.

Hanging Out in the Same (Jackpot) Neighborhood

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.

Some Lotteries Like to Spread Out

After a month of going nuts over repeating Combinations, Lotto Texas and Powerball may going for another approach. That approach, dear readers, is the art of the spread.

December may have just started, but there were hints of change this past Wednesday night. A similar approach happened Saturday night for one lottery while the other went with repeating Combinations. Regardless of approach, both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their respective jackpots grow to $19 million and $89 million.

Lotto Texas

Similar Spread

Lotto Texas mastered the exact art of a spread earlier in the week. Although that wasn’t present Saturday night, something similar did take place. Saturday’s winning numbers had a spread of 02:07:10:12:01. Similarly, the winning numbers from March 8, 2014, 18, 25, 35, 47, 49 and 50, had a spread of 07:10:12:02:01.

Both Lotto Texas and Powerball’s jackpots continue to soar, and the art of the spread seems to be making headway. Still, it’s early yet. We’ll have to see if more similar and/or exact spreads are in the cards for these lotteries, or if they’ll abandon them like fruitcake.

Powered by Forsaken Playbacks

They’ve gone and done it. Since the beginning of August, they’ve been working on a project to regrow the Powerball jackpot. The project succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. On October 29, 2022, the Powerball jackpot became worth $1 billion!

Meanwhile, Lotto Texas was as cool as a cucumber. The jackpot grew to $10 million, which isn’t small change, either!

Both the jackpots grew due to the awesome, terrifying power of a playback.

Lotto Texas

General Lottery Analysis

Lotto Texas’s playback was the one hiding in plain sight: an Australia Play. Thanks to 3, 8, 26, 30, 43 and 52, both the {2-2-2} Pattern and the 2 2 2 Specific Order have played 293 times.

Will either Lotto Texas or Powerball treat a lucky player to millions, or will they be up to their own tricks?

Mega Millions Has a Monster of its Own

A monster is loose in the lottery world. A jackpot of mind-boggling size has become too big to ignore. Thousands, millions even, are ready to take a chance and bring this beast to heel. As players aim for that monstrous near-billion-dollar Powerball jackpot, a good-sized jackpot is lurking in Mega Millions. A smaller jackpot should be easier to capture, yes?

If only it were that simple! Mega Millions, with semi-fresh memories of having its beast of a jackpot brought down to size, wasn’t determined to be taken down again so soon. Through careful planning, the Mega Millions jackpot grew to a hearty $87 million.

General Lottery Analysis

Mega Millions’ plan to grow the jackpot involved the use of an Australia Play. With winning numbers 4, 18, 31, 53, 69 and MB 7, the {1-1-1-1-1-1} Pattern, [1-1-1-1-1-1] General Order, and 1 1 1 1 1 1 Specific Order have played 24 times.

Mega Millions won’t be part of Halloween proper, that honor goes to Lotto Texas and Powerball, but this lottery will kick off November. Is another Australia Play in the cards, or will Mega Millions use another strategy?

CRIKEY! An Australian Play and a Jackpot That Just Won’t Quit

Greetings Lotterytrend fans! Romulun Harris here. Last night on October 24, 2022, with Halloween just a week away, Lotto Texas experienced an Australia Play and Powerball, of course, had a still-going-strong jackpot that increased up to $700 million! It may not be $1 billion, but it’s still a Monster Mash of a jackpot! Speaking of which, back on October 27, 2018, the won Powerball Jackpot was a quarter of a billion dollars! But an even bigger jackpot was won four days beforehand, and the biggest—and I mean biggest—jackpot in Megamillions history: $1.6 billion! Now that’s what I call Halloween jackpot history. And now, the details.

At least one Australia Play and at least one Pattern encore were spotted Saturday night. As they went about their mischief, they helped Lotto Texas and Powerball evade capture. Lotto Texas’s jackpot grew to $8.75 million, a good-sized prize on its own. To the surprise of no one, Powerball was the one harboring the beast of a jackpot, a jackpot that expanded to $610 million.
