The Spreading Influence of a Common (Mega Millions) Pattern

After a strong start to the month, Mega Millions showed no sign of easing up! April 4, 2023 saw this lottery swap out the {3-1-1-1} Pattern for something more common. As the jackpot grew to $414 million, Mega Millions also thought it would be a good time to spread out.

General Lottery Analysis

This lottery thought the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern was more befitting a Tuesday night. With winning numbers 1, 37, 45, 62, 64 and MB 4, this Pattern has now played 366 times.

Now that’s what I call Easter surprises.

How long big will the jackpots get? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe and Happy Easter!

March: Out Like an Encore (or Two)

“Repeat” can be good or bad, depending on the context. It can either mean another chance or needless repetition. For lotteries, seeing that Pattern play for the second time in a row can be beneficial if you played that Pattern the last time. However, it can be a bummer if you don’t win, even if the jackpot grows!

As Lotto Texas and Powerball held their last drawings for March, neither were ready to let go of their Monday night Patterns just yet! Their respective jackpots grew to $61 million and $147 million March 29, 2023.

No Jackpot Resets Here!

Lotto Texas, ever graceful, so full of poise. Unlike Mega Millions and Powerball, this lottery operates on a smaller scale. This “small” lottery also tends to bow out before reaching $50 million, let alone $20 million. Perhaps Lotto Texas is tired of resetting so soon or just wants a challenge. Whatever the reason, Lotto Texas has more than proved that it can hang with big boys Mega Millions and Powerball over the past six months.

Saturday night’s results kept Lotto Texas in the club for a bit longer. By the power of a {3-2-1} Pattern encore, the jackpot rose to $58 million. Lest we forget about Powerball, that lottery didn’t need an encore to boost the jackpot to $122 million.

Jackpot Growth, So it Goes

They say it’s always the ones you least expect. For as long as we’ve done Lottery Binge, the current behavior in Lotto Texas is something for sure. Never have we seen such determination from a lottery known to bow out gracefully long before the jackpot reaches as high as it has become lately! Lotto Texas, often overshadowed by Powerball and Mega Million, continues to have a jackpot that’s “in their league”, so to speak.

Rather than opt for a Pattern encore, Lotto Texas took to playing a less common Pattern Saturday night. This paid off handsomely, for the jackpot grew to $54.5 million. Meanwhile, Powerball’s nifty handling of an Australia Play boosted the jackpot over there to $86 million.
