The calendar says “Winter”, but Lotto Texas and Powerball are ready for spring! March 16, 2019 saw a warm-up in the Lottery World, although “warm-up” may be a bit of an understatement. With no grand prize winners, Powerball’s jackpot officially went past the half-billion-dollar mark. More specifically, we’re looking at least $550 million going into Wednesday night! Lotto Texas had a touch of the “Jackpot Fever”, with a prize now at $11 million. Although not nearly as monstrous as Powerball, that’s plenty robust.

Three-Number Combination(s)
Two repeating Three-Number Combinations gave Powerball an extra boost:
- 39, 67, PB 11 (Debuted May 18, 2016)
- 39, 53, 67 (Debuted September 20, 2017)
This Wednesday marks the official start of spring. Powerball’s prize is currently $550 million, but there’s a good chance it’ll climb again before the actual playdate. This is something to keep an eye on. On a lighter note, will either the {3-2-1} or {3-1-1-1} Pattern make an encore?
