Month: November 2022

Mega Millions: Infected

Some…interesting things happened in the lottery world this month. By interesting, we mean “Powerball fell in love with repeating Four-Number Combinations”. From that, we got the fallout Three-Number Combinations and then some. Come the night of November 29, 2022, Mega Millions caught the bug. As this lottery contended with a repeating Four-Number Combination, the jackpot climbed to $333 million.

General Lottery Analysis

The jackpot’s massiveness and the madness of a repeating Four-Number Combination was thanks to a {2-2-1-1} Pattern encore. Tuesday night’s numbers were 20, 23, 37, 46, 52 and MB 6, bringing the number of appearances for this Pattern to 231.

The Holiday Season has begun, fans! You can definitely expect some surprises. This is Romulun Harris signing off. Stay safe.

Recuperation

In the lead-up to Thanksgiving, both Lotto Texas and Powerball went crazy for repeating Combinations. The day before Thanksgiving had a record 17 repeating Combinations! Saturday night was much different. The lotteries figured that too many Combinations in such a short amount of time wasn’t going to be good for them in the long run. Instead, they spent the night too tired (and stuffed) to do much of anything. However, there was just enough energy to keep the players from claiming the jackpots. Lotto Texas held strong at $17.25 million, and the Powerball prize pushed onward to $56 million.

Lotto Texas

What with people heading home and bracing for another work/school week, perhaps it’s fitting that neither Lotto Texas nor Powerball went crazy with the repeating Combinations. We are, of course, now in the Christmas season. Inquiring minds want to know what shenanigans these lotteries will be up to in the coming weeks. Are more nights with a glut of repeating Combinations on tap, or will they have something else up their sleeves?

Black Friday 2022’s Combination Special

Can you believe it? Christmas is right around the corner! Seems like yesterday that people went Black Friday shopping, feasted on leftovers, and Mega Millions held a drawing.

Oh, wait. It was yesterday, and Mega Millions feasted on repeating Three-Number Combinations. Meanwhile, the jackpot ballooned to $308 million.

With a beast of a jackpot and the momentum of repeating Three-Number Combinations, Mega Millions is heading into the Christmas season full speed ahead! How long will the jackpot growth and the repeating Combination feast continue?

The Stuffening

Thanksgiving in the US has the misfortune of being overshadowed by both Halloween and Christmas. Right after the scares and candy come the Christmas decorations, the songs, the sales, we could go on. Given how pervasive Christmas is, no one would blame you if you didn’t know, or forgot*, that American Thanksgiving is in November. Perhaps Lotto Texas and Powerball can help with that.

*To our US readers: Be honest. How many of you have forgotten at least once about Thanksgiving?

Ever since this past weekend, both lotteries have engorged themselves on repeating Combinations. On Saturday, Powerball saw two repeating Four-Number Combinations, a rarity for this lottery, and Lotto Texas was the talk of the town Monday night with a repeating Five-Number Combination. The night of November 23, 2022 was a feast of Combinations!

Another repeating Five-Number Combination was spotted in Lotto Texas, and Powerball helped itself once again to two repeating Four-Number Combinations! Amidst the madness, the Lotto Texas jackpot grew to $16.75 million, and Powerball’s jackpot grew to $48 million.

Lotto Texas and Powerball’s Quadruple Knockout

Somehow, the phrase, “What the <insert favorite expletive> was that?!” doesn’t come close to describing what happened Saturday night.

Lotto Texas and Powerball were truly in sync. In fact, they were so in sync that both, yes both, featured two repeating Four-Number Combinations! Unfortunately for Powerball, that played a part in the jackpot resetting to $20 million. Meanwhile, Lotto Texas seamlessly incorporated its repeating Four-Number Combinations as the jackpot rose to $15.75 million.

With the Powerball jackpot now at $20 million, Lotto Texas isn’t that far behind. (US) Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and there’s no telling what these two are cooking up. On the one hand, things may be quieter, what with the upcoming holiday. On the other hand, Christmas is coming up! We’ll just have to watch and see, won’t we?

A Searing Hot Three-peat

Summer is a distant memory, and winter has decided to pay an early visit. Like Mother Nature, Mega Millions continues with its routine, caring not what mere mortals think. Given how cold it’s been lately, this lottery thought, “Let’s heat things up a bit”. A closer look at the November 18, 2022 results shows that “a bit” is an understatement!

Mega Millions continued to hold the title of “Largest Jackpot”. A Pattern three-peat made the jump to $259 million possible.

General Lottery Analysis

The {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern is the most played Pattern in Mega Millions, in part due to the occasional three-peat! With winning numbers 2, 14, 16, 38, 66 and MB 9, this Pattern has now played 353 times.

The [2-1-1-1-1] General Order, now with 87 appearances, has played in 24.6% of the 353 drawings where {2-1-1-1-1} was the winning Pattern. Once all 829 drawings have been taken into consideration, this General Order has played 10.5% of the time.

Will the {2-1-1-1-1} Pattern trot onto the lottery scene once again Tuesday night?

Spreading Out and Rising Up

Lottery-wise, Wednesday nights are crowded. Rather than one lottery, two are vying for attention and adoration of players far and wide. Even as people are caught up in the allure of becoming an (almost) overnight millionaire, there’s an organized madness behind the scenes. Lotto Texas and Powerball, from their quietest nights to their biggest blowouts, embrace it willingly. A cold Wednesday night in mid-November is just as good as any.

November 16, 2022 was the night for “organized madness”. One lottery embraced the wonders of a similar spread while the other flirted with a repeating Combination that played twice before. Regardless of the path that was taken, both Lotto Texas and Powerball’s respective jackpots grew to $15.25 million and $93 million.
