3, 2, 1. These are the last numbers in a countdown. In the lottery world, they hold a special significance, for they make up a Pattern. Its presence, though, isn’t uniform. Lotto Texas is visited by this Pattern the most and doesn’t get nearly as much play in Powerball (or Mega Millions).
But, on November 21, 2020, the {3-2-1} Pattern put in double time and paid a visit to both Lotto Texas and Powerball! With that, the jackpots grew once more. Lotto Texas grew to $8.75M and Powerball crossed $200 million ($202 million).
