The Saturday Night Special: Pattern Fall Back and Combination Fracas

November 5, 2022 was eventful for sure! Across the pond, they were lighting bonfires and fireworks (“Remember, remember, the 5th of November”). Several hours later, the Houston Astros claimed their 2nd World Series title. Meanwhile, Powerball continued to be the talk of the lottery world, what with the jackpot knocking on $2 billion. Actually, it grew to $1.9 billion, but that’s plenty close! Lotto Texas, ever so graceful, quietly raised the jackpot to $12.25 million.

Mega Millions Slightly Stirring

After Mega Millions used Tuesday night to reflect and take a breather, Friday night wasn’t quite the same. November 4, 2022 was far from a number frenzy, but the night saw more activity. An appearance by this lottery’s most common Pattern, along with a little something extra, pushed the jackpot to $154 million.

What a way to begin November. Powerball’s jackpot has been gaining momentum since August 6, 2022—almost three months! How high can this jackpot go? This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe!

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

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?

A Great and Terrible Duo

Lotto Texas and Powerball are joined at the hip. As one lottery holds a drawing, so must the other. Their (often) different approaches to these drawings determine whether their jackpots rise or fall together or separately. As we get closer to Halloween, the jackpots continue to rise together, and one lottery is determined to have a monster of a jackpot!

On October 26, 2022, Powerball wielded the awesome power of a Pattern streak to dazzle (and confuse) the players and send the jackpot to a staggering $800 million. Lotto Texas was no slouch, either. A more measured approach boosted the jackpot to $9.5 million.

Lotto Texas

Lotto Texas opted for the {3-2-1} Pattern. With winning numbers 3, 8, 14, 19, 32 and 38, the {3-2-1} Pattern made its 1095th appearance.

The Mega Millions Tuesday Night Triple

As October winds down and the World Series is about to kick off (Go ‘stros!), Mega Millions saw a triple Tuesday night. By “triple”, we mean a repeating Three-Number Combination that played thrice! That’s fancy talk for “three times”. As the triple offender of a Combination hitched its star to Mega Millions, the jackpot climbed to $64 million.

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.

The Lurking Jackpots

Halloween will soon be here, and one thing that embodies the season is monsters. Monster movies and monster costumes are a yearly staple, but what about monster-sized jackpots? Even though one beast of a jackpot has been slain, there’s still one more, lurking in the shadows.

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.
