The Jackpot Cornucopia

Lotto Texas and Powerball made it to the end of May. If you were itching for Pattern encores for May 30, 2020, then there were none to be had. Instead, something grander occurred. The jackpots for both lotteries rose once more! A $18.75 million prize in Lotto Texas and a $135 million prize in Powerball were nothing to sneeze at.

Will the Lotto Texas and Powerball jackpots reach monstrous levels in June, or will at least one of them be brought down to size?

356 Million Reasons to Spread Out

Mega Millions certainly won’t be ending May with a Pattern streak, let alone a Pattern encore. If the results of the May 29, 2020 drawing were anything to go by, it was time to pull another tool out of the arsenal. In this case, the tool was a similar spread. That didn’t put a dent in the jackpot; if anything, it boosted the prize to $356 million!

Note, however, that their orders weren’t the same.

Will June be the month of the monster-sized jackpot in Mega Millions?

Let Those Jackpots Ride!

There’s a buzz in the air! School’s (letting) out and all that pent-up energy has to go somewhere. The theme parks may not be open yet, but the beaches and great outdoors are as popular as ever. Everyone is looking forward to more daylight, warmer temperatures and hopefully an increasing sense of “normalcy”.

Lotto Texas and Powerball spent the night of May 27, 2020 boosting their stores. With no one picking the six winning numbers, their respective jackpots climbed to $18.25 million and $125 million.

Mega Millions’ Memorial Day Combination Blowout

Another Memorial Day weekend has come and gone. As people far and wide retreated back to their homes (having gotten a little taste of sunlight and fresh air), Mega Millions geared up for a blowout. While the odds of a Pattern streak are looking slim, this lottery more than made up for it with a volley of repeating Three-Number Combinations. May 26, 2020 was also favorable for all those who are crazy for crazy-large jackpots! With the jackpot unclaimed once again, the prize shot up to $336 million.

The Iron Grip of the {3-2-1} Pattern

The {3-2-1} Pattern reigned supreme May 23, 2020. There was, in fact, a {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat in Lotto Texas. However, that wasn’t enough to satiate this Pattern’s appetite. That’s right: the {3-2-1} Pattern also showed up in Powerball! A Pattern’s double appearance did nothing to bring the jackpots down. If anything, that made them grow even more! Lotto Texas grew to $17.5 million and Powerball ballooned to $114 million.

The Three-peat That Never Was

Beer and barbeque. Beach weather. Holiday weekend! All these and more were perfectly good reasons for Mega Millions to pile on with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore. It would have made for a stellar kick off to the summer season. There were other plans for the May 22, 2020 drawing. However, one plan that stuck around was the rising jackpot. With the grand prize unclaimed yet again, it rose to $313 million.

Hopes for a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern streak may have been quashed, but there’s still one week left. The {2-2-1-1} Pattern has been known to repeat itself. Could that be the source of a potential Pattern streak?

The Grand {3-2-1} Pattern Encore

So, the {3-2-1} Pattern made an encore in Lotto Texas. Big deal. Why yes, it was a big deal!

The {3-2-1} Pattern encore of May 20, 2020 solidified this Pattern as the King of Lotto Texas. Furthermore, this encore produced a repeating Five-Number Combination (and all that it implies) and fueled this lottery’s love of a growing jackpot. This normally unassuming lottery saw its grand prize rise to $17.25 million.

Powerball didn’t ruffle any feathers. However, it too saw its jackpot climb, reaching $104 million.

For the 19th, an Encore

The school year is winding down and Memorial Day Weekend is right around the corner! What better way for Mega Millions to get psyched about summer than to push out a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern encore? The May 19, 2020 drawing also saw another boost in the jackpot; it stopped just shy of $300 million ($298 million).

Will Mega Millions kick off summer with a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern three-peat?

Lotto Texas and Powerball Get Out and Go

It’s that time of year again! Summer is right around the corner, and with all that’s happened these past few months, everyone is itching to get back to some sense of “normalcy”. The easing of stay-at-home orders is scratching that itch, and what went down May 16, 2020 showed that humans weren’t the only ones who can’t bear to be cooped up for long!

Lotto Texas and Powerball put on their masks and went out and about. All that pent-up energy led to one lottery coming this close to seeing a playback, while another saw a Pattern encore and a similar spread. There were no grand prize winners produced in this madness, and the jackpots climbed once again. Lotto Texas’s jackpot rose to $16.25 million while Powerball’s jumped to $95 million.

Similar Spread

Saturday’s numbers had the spread of 15:14:02:01:03. This spread is similar to the one that was seen almost seven years ago in the June 8, 2013 drawing. That night, the winning numbers were 14, 28, 29, 44, 46 and 49. The spread was 14:01:15:02:03.

It’s best to remember that when dealing with similar spreads that despite the differences between played numbers being the same, the order in which the numbers played on those nights was different.

Four-Number Combination(s)

Lotto Texas had enough room for three repeating Four-Number Combinations:

2, 17, 33, 37 (Debuted June 5, 2002)

One Goes Up, One Goes Away

Remember how it looked like the {2-2-1-1} Pattern was gearing up for a Pattern streak? That got quashed in the May 15, 2020 Mega Millions drawing. However, if you like jackpots that are worth more than a quarter billion dollars (who doesn’t?), then you’ll be happy to know that it stayed that way! With no grand prize winners, the jackpot climbed to $274 million.
