A Pattern streak would’ve been an impactful way to end August.
After all, this is the (unofficial) last weekend of summer. What better
way to kick off the Labo(u)r Day weekend than a Pattern streak?
Mega Millions had other plans in the August 30th,
2019 drawing. Instead of a Pattern streak, or even an encore, it went with an
uncommonly played Pattern. This had the effect of propelling the prize to $137
million.

Lotto Texas dominated the lottery landscape August 28, 2019. The winless streak continued as the prize climbed to $18.25 million. What made this lottery stand out Wednesday night was that it had

was like Lotto Texas had this checklist of “Awesome Ways to End the Month” and

Powerball had
its own brand of insanity. A Specific Order debut and a couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations may seem
like small potatoes, but that was enough to propel the grand prize to $70
million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball will have the joint honor of playing
the last day of August. Will the lead-up to September be just as wild as
Wednesday, or will the month end on a quieter note?
In an amazing twist of events, Mega Millions was host to a
special repeating Three-Number Combination. So special, in fact, that it played
four (yes, four) times! First things first, though: We need to discuss the
actual August 27th, 2019 drawing. Tuesday night didn’t produce an
Australia Play encore this time. However, there was a rising jackpot. No
grand prize winner meant a prize that climbed to $113 million.

The last August Mega Millions drawing will be held this Friday. We’ve passed
the window for a Pattern streak to end the month, but could a {2-1-1-1-1}
Pattern encore be in the works?
Lottery jackpots have their own cycle. They rise, get claimed, then reset, and the cycle repeats ad infinitum. This summer has seen one lottery’s jackpot get claimedtwice and another that has kept rising full steam ahead. Surprisingly, it has been Powerball with the claimed prizes, and Lotto Texas flirting with unleashing a beast!
That trend continued August 24, 2019. Now, $18 million doesn’t seem that much compared to either Mega Millions or Powerball (both reset at $40 million) but (a) this is the largest that Lotto Texas has been in a while and (b) you wouldn’t really turn down that money if you won it (be honest!). Powerball’s jackpot rose graciously to $60 million.

August is winding down. That means full-on school mode and hopefully cooler temperatures on the horizon. Will Lotto Texas and Powerball follow suit with a cool down, or will the jackpot rise continue?
August is almost over and it has been anything but boring for Mega Millions. As the schools opened their doors once again, things continued to get wild in the lottery world. There was a shakeup for Mega Millions in the August 23, 2019 drawing and the prize leapt up to $103 million.

Nothing could bring it down and the aftermath was a jackpot that leapt upwards
to $17.25 million.
Now, Lotto Texas wasn’t the only one wild and out August 21, 2019. Powerball gained the courage to do something quite daring. This risk paid off for it, as players failed to pick all six winning numbers. The prize climbed to $50 million as a result.

An interesting phenomenon has taken place this August. No,
we’re not talking about the Perseid Meteor Showers. This phenomenon is
only noticeable when the hood is popped open.
The August 20, 2019 Mega Millions drawing played host to an unusual “three-peat”. This term is normally reserved for whenever a Pattern plays three times in a row. So far this month, the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern has played everyTuesday! What moved it to claim Tuesdays in August is anyone’s guess. All we know is that the prize rose once more to $90 million.

After handing the players yet another thrashing, the prize climbed to $16.5 million. This has been a thing for Lotto Texas since before the summer season started. Slow and steady, indeed!
There was another side to the tale of August 17, 2019. Powerball, certainly no stranger to crazy-large jackpots, appears to have put them to the side. Now, they’ve been growing to healthy size, but they’ve been claimed before reaching the $200 million mark. Long Island produced the sole winner of the $149 million up for grabs. Naturally, the prize reset itself to $40 million.
