The Fourth of July is right around the corner. For many people, that means firing up the grill, beach excursions, but more importantly, fireworks! Some like to get ahead of the game and fire a few off in preparation for the big night.
Mega Millions bid farewell to June with a pre-holiday fireworks show of its own. Tuesday night saw the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern return for the third drawing in a row and with it a jackpot that grew to $72 million.

With June in Mega Millions’ rear view mirror, will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern still be along for the ride?
Next to Christmas and your birthday, summer most likely rounded out your top three of “Best Time of the Year”. Summer meant several weeks away from teachers and homework, days filled with games, swimming, popsicles, and checking out the latest movies.
One summer, you’re an eight-year-old playing video games. Flash forward twenty years and your summers are spent toiling away in the working world. Summer vacation then becomes a couple of weeks you have to time just right, provided you have at least that much time saved up. Even if you happen to be a kid at heart, those nostalgia pangs come rushing in, and summer, a wondrous time when everything was once new, is a peak time for it.
If it’s any consolation, at least you’re not a lottery. Lotteries are constantly bombarded with nostalgia, some more than others. This past Saturday night wasn’t any different! And yet, lotteries are tied to the present and future, too. The (then recent) numbers that played June 26, 2021 were responsible for the future jackpots of $6.5 million for Lotto Texas and $88 million for Powerball.

Will Lotto Texas and Powerball end June with Pattern encores, or do they have something else up their sleeves?
Summer has just begun and already it’s excruciatingly hot. Temperatures that would normally be expected in July or August, if then, are spreading through Europe and the Pacific Northwest. Concerning the lottery side of things, June 25, 2021 saw a Pattern encore which sent the jackpot rising to $61 million. You could relax on your own island or escape to the Southern Hemisphere with that kind of money!

Three-Number Combinations
A couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations were also present:
June 19th, or Juneteenth, commemorated the end of slavery in Texas. Although the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed in 1863, it wasn’t until June 19, 1865 that Union soldiers sailed into Galveston and read the Emancipation Proclamation that slavery was abolished in Texas.
Yet, slavery hadn’t been fully abolished in the United States. Kentucky and Delaware, both Union states, continued to practice slavery until the ratification of the 13th Amendment six months later. This is because the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to the Confederacy, of which Texas was a part of.
Today, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, and as of this past Thursday, a federal holiday. Not only is Juneteenth a day of remembrance for black Americans, but it’s also a day of celebration.
Lotto Texas and Powerball were linked to this momentous occasion this year. Lotto Texas kept it classy while the jackpot grew to $6 million. Meanwhile, Powerball took a different approach to get its jackpot up to $63 million.

As summer kicks into high gear, are more playbacks on the horizon in the coming week?
Forget what the calendar says: Summer is here in Lottery Trend country! Soaring temperatures, record-breaking even, are sending droves of people into their air-conditioned fortresses. Those who don’t have the luxury or want to take advantage of the loosening COVID restrictions are heading to movie theatres, malls, swimming pools, and lest we forget, the ever-popular beach.
Hot days don’t necessarily mean cool nights. Thanks to an assist from the {3-1-1-1} Pattern, June 18, 2021 was hot and steamy for Mega Millions! The jackpot climbed to $40 million.

Three-Number Combinations
Accompanying the {3-1-1-1} Pattern were a couple of repeating Three-Number Combinations:
Summer is coming, which means rising temperatures are ahead. Although we like to kick things off with Memorial Day, the true start of the season is on the Summer Solstice, which falls on either June 20th or the 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. And yet, nature cares not about what the calendar says. Blazing hot temperatures can and have occurred before the Solstice!
It was June 16, 2021 that Lotto Texas and Powerball got caught in a heatwave. Nothing record-breaking (yet?), but like the temperatures outside, the jackpots rose. Lotto Texas’s jackpot climbed to $5.75 million, and Powerball’s ascended to $52 million.

Three-Number Combinations
Two repeating Three-Number Combinations were on tap:
An interesting trait about the Mega Millions jackpot is how it increases in size. The first drawing that takes place after a reset is much like dipping your toe in the pool. The second drawing would be akin to either stepping back (the prize resets to $20 million) or jumping in (the prize sees another increase).
Mega Millions jumped into the pool June 15, 2021 and did so with no hesitation. With none of the players picking all six numbers, the jackpot grew to $30 million.

Hello and greetings, Lotterytrend fans! This is guest blogger Romulun Harris, filling in for Freyja Harris, and giving you the latest updates in Lotto Texas and Powerball.
As we enter yet another Hurricane Season as well, find Lotto Texas and Powerball engaging in their own internal dynamics.
