Pattern encores. Playbacks. Australia Plays. All these and more are part of The Lottery Playbook™. Lotto Texas, Powerball, and Mega Millions like to reference this book to keep things exciting. What happens then when no such major plays (or apparent ones) happen in a lottery drawing? Does that mean a quiet night?
Well, it depends. Quieter nights often occur when the playbook is thrown out. Sometimes, depending on the Pattern, it could be the start of something grander. One way to get started on that path is by sending the prizes upward. The aftermath of this past Saturday night was a $6.75 million prize for Lotto Texas and $70 million for Powerball.
