Humans are social creatures by nature. All of us at some time or another desire companionship and a genuine connection with others. Some people have strong family units, others have a strong social network, and others still have either both or none of the above. Through the power of marketing and how many Christmas traditions came about, there’s an even stronger desire for most of us to have companionship at this time of year. Sometimes, that desire manifests as coupling up. Christmas stories wouldn’t be a thing otherwise!
Lotteries don’t concern themselves with romance, naturally. However, they are known to grow attached to different Patterns during their lives…
December 15, 2021 meant Lotto Texas and the {3-2-1} Pattern sticking together another night. This union led to the jackpot sitting pretty at $13 million. A Pattern streak with {2-1-1-1-1} looked to be in the making for Powerball, but that wasn’t meant to be. Upon further analysis, it was discovered that such a streak wasn’t necessary to raise the prize to $353 million.
