Lotto Texas and Powerball will have the honor of ushering in April. Will they shower us with Pattern encores and other wild plays or take us for April fools?

Party of One: Mega Millions Edition

After a busy Tuesday, Mega Millions retreated Friday night. No Pattern encores, no crazy plays of any kind to be had. There were a couple of major developments, though. One was a single Three-Number Combination that made its first appearance five years ago. The other was yet another rise in the jackpot; it became worth $113 million.

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern smashed any hope of a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore for the time being. The winning numbers for March 27, 2020 were 3, 25, 28, 50, 60, and MB 1, marking the 241st appearance for this Pattern.

What with Lotto Texas and Powerball calming down earlier this week and now Mega Millions, perhaps “social distancing” is entering their conscience! Are quiet lotteries going to be the new trend or is this a temporary rest?

Lotteries on Bedrest

The crash was inevitable. After nights of going hog-wild, it was going to catch up to Lotto Texas and Powerball. They didn’t have the energy to party this past Wednesday night, or kick up a stink for that matter. Even though they rested, there was just enough energy for a similar spread and a repeating Three-Number Combination between them. Lotto Texas’s jackpot reached the $10 million mark and Powerball slept to $160 million.

The Great Combination Gathering

Add “social distancing” to the ever-growing list of concepts that mean nothing to lotteries.

Mega Millions ditched the {3-2-1} Pattern this past Tuesday night. A three-peat for such a Pattern would be more suited to Lotto Texas, anyway. While Mega Millions went to pick up another Pattern, a bevy of repeating Three-Number Combinations came along for the ride. The grand prize went unclaimed once again, rising to $107 million.

 Will the {2-2-1-1} Pattern go on to make an encore Friday night or will Mega Millions ditch it for yet another Pattern?

Frantic Fondness for (Repeating) Four-Number Combinations

With more businesses closing and more people forced to stay home, Lotto Texas and Powerball are still stir-crazy. Repeating Four-Number Combinations reared their heads once again in Lotto Texas, and would you believe this frenzy spread to Powerball? This frantic embracement of repeating Four-Number Combinations led to more jackpot increases. Lotto Texas climbed to $9.75 million and Powerball settled at $150 million.

Springtime Mega Millions Encores

Spring has sprung! If you’re reading this from the Northern Hemisphere, March 20th (or 19th, depending on who you ask) was the lead-in to warmer weather and a season of new beginnings. Mega Millions wasn’t quite ready to make the leap into something new this past Friday night. This “safe” play helped send the jackpot past the $100 million mark; $101 million, to be precise.

Lotto Texas and Powerball Go Stir Crazy

As toilet paper remains in limited supply and people discover basic hygiene (Seriously, y’all. Wash your hands), Lotto Texas and Powerball are kicking back. They’re above such worries like soap and viruses, since they don’t get sick and all. Even if they can lord it over humans that they’re immune to every disease ever, there is one thing that not even a poised lottery like Lotto Texas is immune to: Going nuts.

Both lotteries thought “Throwing things to a wall and see what sticks” was a fun way to pass the time Wednesday night. Based on our analysis, a lot of things got stuck! During the cleanup process, a couple of jackpot hikes were salvaged. Lotto Texas climbed to $9.5 million while Powerball struck gold at $140 million.

A-Maze-in’ Mega Millions

According to Lottery Trend analysts, employing a mathematical strategy can be like working through a maze. You start off with a hodgepodge of numbers, study them carefully with respect to their relationships with each other, and then do a comparison with three numbers and so on. You keep going until you whittle that hodgepodge down to the five or six numbers that can possibly win you the big bucks.

There is a method to the madness, after all. Once you clear your mind of clutter and noise, you can better come up with strategies to pick numbers. However, if you played this past St. Patrick’s Day, you probably turned green from sickness.

Mega Millions toasted itself once again, as no one picked the six winning numbers. As disappointing as it is to not win, $96 million is a hefty consolation!

Some Patterns Like to Repeat Themselves

This week belonged to the Australia Play! Lotto Texas saw this plucky play go for the encore Saturday night. With no one able to pick all six numbers, the jackpot climbed to $9.25 million.

Powerball didn’t see the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat, although it was close to embracing a playback. A jackpot increasing to $130 million was proof that a “regular” play can be just as effective, all things considered.
