Month: June 2020

June is Pattern Streak Season

Lotto Texas has grown so much! Once a quiet, unassuming little lottery, it’s not only more confident, it has a large jackpot. This jackpot has grown over the course of several months, and thanks to the {3-2-1} Pattern streak, it received another boost! With no one able to pick all six winning numbers, the jackpot climbed to $23.5 million.

Powerball didn’t have a {3-1-1-1} Pattern encore to end its June run. Playing another Pattern sent the jackpot to $51 million.

Both Lotto Texas and Powerball saw their most commonly seen Patterns at the end of their June run. Will the {3-2-1} and the {2-1-1-1-1} Patterns kick off July?

The Heat of a Three-peat

It’s hot outside and it’s hot in Mega Millions! June is almost over, and this lottery continued to hold onto the {3-2-1} Pattern. The Pattern’s three-peat made things unbearably hot for the players, with no one able to claim the grand prize. Naturally, the jackpot went up; $53 million is now up for grabs.

Will Mega Millions hold onto the {3-2-1} Pattern in Tuesday’s drawing?

Leaping, Bounding and Holding Strong

To our readers, especially our U.S. readers: The COVID-19 pandemic is NOT a hoax. States have halted reopening phases and countries are talking about banning (not quarantining, banning) U.S. travelers. If you want everything to go back to “normal”, then stop throwing tantrums, put on your big boy pants and wear a mask and practice social distancing. Stay home if you can. You can’t play the lottery if you’re dead.

Compared to humans, lotteries are uninhibited. They can go out and about without worrying about the things that ail us.

And on June 24, 2020, the lotteries held strong. Lotto Texas continued to go steady with the {3-2-1} Pattern and its jackpot graciously climbed to $23.25 million. Powerball grew by leaps and bounds, seeing a boost from $33 million to $42 million.

As Lotto Texas and Powerball get ready to say goodbye to June this Saturday, will the jackpots continue to go upward?  

Forty-Four Million Step Encore Program

Forty-four million steps. That’s roughly 3.67 million people going through a Twelve-Step program all at once. If there are 806 kilometers in one million steps of average stride, then 44 million steps would be 35,464 kilometers. Today’s post is about a different kind of 44 million.

After the June 23, 2020 Mega Millions drawing, $44 million is the prize now up for grabs. And it was brought about by a Pattern encore.

Is the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern setting itself up for a Pattern streak to end June? Maybe, but it needs to see a three-peat on Friday first!

Crying Out for Playbacks

The seasons weren’t the only things that changed June 20, 2020. Lotto Texas and Powerball, having once both shared a love of the {3-2-1} Pattern, went their separate ways. The former stuck with the Pattern, and with a playback, no less. Meanwhile, the latter opted for a different Pattern. Taking different approaches led to a $22.75 million jackpot for Lotto Texas and $33 million for Powerball.

Sticking with What Mega Millions Knows

Mega Millions learned a Very Important Lesson ™ in being itself June 19, 2020. Rather than borrow from Lotto Texas, it decided to stick with what it knew. Instead of a {3-2-1} Pattern three-peat, this lottery returned to its most commonly seen Pattern: {2-1-1-1-1}. And it wasn’t just the appearance of a {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern that sent the jackpot to $35 million!

The Fashionable {3-2-1} Pattern

The {3-2-1} Pattern is popular in Lotto Texas; it wouldn’t be the most commonly seen Pattern otherwise! But, did you know that this Pattern is also popular with both Mega Millions and Powerball?

Truthfully, the Pattern isn’t as prevalent in those lotteries. However, it made an (encore) appearance in Mega Millions this past Tuesday, and it showed up in both Lotto Texas and Powerball June 17, 2020. The {3-2-1} Pattern not only proved popular for all three lotteries so far this week, it had jackpot boosting powers! Lotto Texas stood strong with a boost to $22 million. Powerball did a happy dance as its jackpot grew to $25 million.

Will the {3-2-1} Pattern retain its popularity with Lotto Texas and Powerball Saturday night?

A Page Out of the Lotto Texas Playbook

Yes, it’s Wednesday and yes, this post is about Mega Millions. After watching Powerball get taken down before it could get back up, it was time for a different approach. The June 16, 2020 Mega Millions drawing featured encores for both the {3-2-1} Pattern and the [2-3-1] General Order! What with imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, Mega Millions took a page from the Lotto Texas playbook. This boosted the jackpot to $26 million.

The Fight for Dominance

Today’s title isn’t something you’d expect for a Lottery Binge post. But you see, things haven’t been exactly “normal” in the lottery world these past few weeks. We had a lottery that’s known for its respectability (rhymes with “Potto Lexus”) become the one with the largest jackpot. In fact, this past Saturday saw its jackpot rise (again!) to $21.25 million. Powerball, determined to not have its jackpot won so easily, pulled itself back up. With no one able to pick all six numbers, the jackpot rose to $22 million.

Lotto Texas

With Powerball on top, it appears that the “rightful” order has been restored. As we head into another week of lottery madness, will Powerball get past $22 million this time? Will the Lotto Texas jackpot keep climbing?

Attention-Seeking Mega Millions

It wasn’t that long ago that a monster-sized jackpot was won in Mega Millions. Sometime between then and the June 12, 2020 drawing, Lotto Texas had a brief moment where it had the largest jackpot. The keyword here is “had”. What about Powerball, you ask? It too was recently cut down to size and was on the way to building its jackpot back up, only to be claimed swiftly. With no one able to pick all six numbers, and with a little help from an uncommonly seen Pattern (and the accompanying madness), Mega Millions reigned supreme with a jackpot that climbed to $22 million.
