Not that long ago, we witnessed an uncommon phenomenon: two Australia Plays on the same night. Would you believe that on January 29, 2022 that it happened again?! This double Australia Play had the jackpots for both Lotto Texas and Powerball leaping to greater heights. The Lotto Texas jackpot jumped to $8 million, and Powerball’s bounded to $113 million.

After three months of growth and feeling invincible, the Mega Millions jackpot finally met its match. On Friday night, a lone player from California brought the massive jackpot to its knees. Naturally, the prize was reset to $20 million.

All these Combinations debuted in the earlier-mentioned July 2nd drawing.
With the jackpot reset, Mega Millions will be starting February with a clean slate. The question is, how clean? Will the jackpot begin to grow again Tuesday night, or will someone put a hold on that?
The days are getting longer, it’s the dead of winter, and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Wait, what?! Christmas was last month! True, but it’s colder than it was last month, and there’s always that one person who leaves up Christmas decorations year-round. Let’s not forget that the lottery world doesn’t adhere to our sense of time. Holidays, or shades of them, can strike at any time.
Lotto Texas saw shades of Christmas January 26, 2022, and saw its jackpot rise to $7.75 million. Powerball didn’t see any shades of Christmas (that was last week), but that had no effect on the jackpot. After the dust settled, the Powerball jackpot rose to $104 million.

Three-Number Combination(s)
A trio of Three-Number Combination repeats occurred:
January 22, 2022 was when it happened. A great madness descended upon the lottery world. Lotto Texas saw both and encore and a playback. This was minor compared to the madness that afflicted Powerball. There, a repeating Four-Number Combination surfaced. Naturally, a repeating Four-Number Combination never acts alone, and to say nothing of the other repeating Three-Number Combinations that didn’t spring from it! This sea of madness fueled the rise of the Lotto Texas and Powerball jackpots to $7.25 million and $82 million, respectively.

8, 67, PB 17
All the Combinations above debuted in the previously mentioned September 6th drawing. However, Powerball wasn’t done! Three more repeating Three-Number Combinations came forth:
Playbacks and a bombardment of Combinations will certainly shake things up in a lottery routine! One thing to keep an eye on in the week ahead is that {3-2-1} Pattern in Lotto Texas. That’s the most common Pattern in that lottery, and it’s been known to show up multiple times in a row. As to whether we’ll see another bombardment of repeating Combinations and more playbacks? That remains to be seen.
A love for the Australia Play took hold in the lottery world these past few drawings! Lotto Texas went back and forth, and Powerball’s love for the Australia Play was expressed with an encore this past Monday.
The night of January 19, 2022 was another matter. Although both Lotto Texas and Powerball set the Australia Play aside, they continued to operate on the same wavelength. That is, they went for a more common Pattern. This approach helped the jackpots rise to $7 million and $76 million, respectively.

It may be cold outside, but Lotto Texas and Powerball continue to heat up. Seeing as both lotteries went for their most common Patterns, it remains to be seen if either one or both Patterns will return Saturday night. And, should those Pattern encores come to pass, will the jackpots go up, or will they go down?

The Australia Play was a hit this past week! Lotto Texas embraced it Wednesday night, and although it left the Australia Play for a more “popular” Pattern Saturday night, this unique play took root in Powerball. The trade-off was a boost to both lotteries’ jackpots, with Lotto Texas rising to $6.5 million and Powerball rising to $53 million.

There have now been 677 Powerball drawings, and an Australia Play has been featured 5.47% of the time. An Australia was last sighted in Powerball December 6, 2021.
Three-Number Combination(s)
With an Australia Play came a gifting of repeating Three-Number Combinations:
One good thing about January is that the days start to get longer. Thing is, that’s when winter really begins; the Christmas season is usually an appetizer. The snowplows and shovels get a workout, kids (and adults) pray for a snow day, and those in warmer climates hope, sometimes in vain, that they get to try on their winter wardrobe at least once this season. Those who hate the cold would rather hibernate, or at least stay inside where it’s warm. Better yet, they’d travel to the Southern Hemisphere if they could. After all, it is summer down there. Maybe with a little help from Lotto Texas and Powerball, the escape to a warm, far away place will come to pass.
Lotto Texas and Powerball crushed those dreams this past Wednesday night. In fact, Lotto Texas, saw fit to go Down Under alone. That had the effect of keeping the jackpot kicking and hopping up to $6.25 million. Powerball saw to it that its jackpot would be better off rising to a toasty $48 million than exposed to the cold.
Lotto Texas

Wednesday night’s Australia Play was no mere Australia Play! The numbers had a spread of 05:07:14: 06:01.

Remember that even though the differences between numbers were the same on both nights, their orders (and the numbers played) were different.
Four-Number Combination(s)
Of course, Lotto Texas went above and beyond with a trio of repeating Four-Number Combinations:
7, 19, 33, 40 (Debuted March 10, 2001)
