An unexpected character evolution has taken hold in the lottery world over the past few months. Lotto Texas, generally the meek, unassuming lottery, has gotten a taste of crazy jackpot fever, relatively speaking. There were no grand prize winners September 7, 2019, and this pushed the jackpot over the $20 million mark ($20.5 million, in fact)!
Powerball’s jackpot hasn’t received the “nurturing” Lotto Texas has. These past few months have seen the prize reset three times. Not so Saturday night. With no grand prize winner, the jackpot now stands at $50 million.

General Lottery Analysis
The {4-2} Pattern made its 183rd appearance with 22, 23, 31, 33, 40, and 42.
This Pattern has played in 4.92% of the 1688 Lotto Texas drawings.

Both the {4-2} Pattern and the 0 4 2 Specific Order were last seen in the August 14, 2019 drawing.
Four-Number Combination(s)
There were no repeating Four-Number Combinations. Lotto Texas thought that crossing the $20 million threshold and hosting a playback was enough.

A {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak may be in the works for Powerball. That’ll be something to keep an eye out for in Wednesday’s drawing. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas doesn’t look to come down anytime soon. How high will it go?
