Month: September 2019

High (Jackpot) Spirits

It sounds unbelievable, but the Lotto Texas jackpot is now roughly 35.8% that of Powerball’s! With no grand prize winners in either lottery, the jackpots stand at $21.5 million and $60 million, respectively. Even with Lotto Texas stealing the spotlight lately, Powerball looks to take some it back with the wonders of a Pattern streak.

This Combination debuted September 13, 2017.

We’re nearing the halfway mark of the month, and both lotteries have got the momentum. Of course, the elephant in the room is the Lotto Texas jackpot. Will it continue to rise the rest of the month, or will it be brought down to size Saturday night?

The Twelve Lives of {4-1-1}

After an eventful Friday, Mega Millions took it down a notch for the September 10th, 2019 drawing. Subtlety was the name of the game, as this lottery opted for an uncommon Pattern. The result was a prize that climbed to a robust $172 million.

Could the {4-1-1} Pattern be bold enough to make an encore Friday night?

A Lotto-Tight Fist

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.

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?

Things You Can Do with a Mega Millions

Although school is back in session and many outdoor pools are closed, there are still a few weeks of summer left, technically speaking. It’ll be a while yet before those crisp nights come rolling in and the autumn fashion comes out. Nothing wrong with enjoying a pumpkin spice latte in shorts, right?

Mega Millions reflected the weather; there was no cool down in the September 6, 2019 drawing. Now, it didn’t see another repeating Four-Number Combination, but there were repeating Three-Number Combinations. Five of them. The aftermath, of course, was a jackpot that climbed to $154 million.

Dorian, Dorian, Dorian. This beast of a storm has devastated The Bahamas and is making a beeline for the Carolinas. Please keep those affected and in the current path of the storm in your thoughts.

A Monster Prevention Task Force was deployed in Powerball September 4, 2019. It was nearly three weeks ago that the Powerball prize had been won. To think that the prize would be won again, and so soon, was unexpected. Thanks to some New York Charm, the jackpot reset to $40 million.

Lotto Texas continued its summer-long jackpot high with a jackpot that climbed to $19.75 million. How often do you see the Lotto Texas prize be close to half that of Powerball?

Three-Number Combination(s)

A jackpot being cut down to size didn’t make for a good mood for repeating Three-Number Combinations.

Powerball has nowhere to go but up, and Lotto Texas continues its climb upward. Both lotteries saw encores for their most common Patterns, and it’ll be interesting if either one of them goes for the three-peat Saturday. The one thing on everyone’s minds is that Lotto Texas jackpot. Will it cross the $20 million mark or will it, too, be brought back down to Earth?

The Great August Wind Down

Craziness from Wednesday does not always carry over into Saturday. The night of August 31, 2019 was much quieter than what we saw earlier in the week! With this serenity came rising jackpots. Lotto Texas’s “winless streak” continued as the prize climbed to $19 million. Meanwhile, Powerball’s prize rose to $80 million.
