July is over. It’s still too hot to do much of anything except swim (or bake) and there’s only two weeks* until school starts. Time keeps on slippin’, as they say!
*Length of time may be different, depending on where you are.
Now, July 31st, 2019 didn’t rock the boat too much. Save for a similar spread, it was a quiet night. Neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball saw a grand prize winner, and their jackpots rose to $14.5 million and $102 million, respectively.
Lotto Texas

With winning numbers 20, 24, 34, 36, 41, and 44, the {4-2} Pattern made its 181st appearance.

Similar Spread
The spread for Wednesday night was 04:10:02:05:03. This was similar to the one seen March 25th, 2015. That night, the winning numbers were 1, 6, 8, 11, 15, and 25 and the spread was 05:02:03:04:10. Note that although the differences between numbers were the same in both drawings, the orders were different.
Four-Number Combination(s)
Lotto Texas may have been thrilled with a similar spread, but it had no love for repeating Four-Number Combinations.

Will Powerball start August with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore, and will Lotto Texas continue its jackpot climb?
